Write damn you!

Good morning strangers! At least it's morning here in the lovely land of enchantment. Perhaps if it is morning where or when you're reading this. Even if your mornings are 5 in the evening because thats when you wake up.  If not, it doesn't matter. Good afternoon, evening, or night whatever your current status of day it is.
I write to you today hoping that this post will be a call to action. Something to stir your creative pots as it were. Sure the post is telling you to write with an exclamtion point, but i want you to replace the word write with whatever it is you do. If you happen to write then lucky you.
I recently went through an illness. Nothing harrowing mind you but only a simple cold. It was enough though that I had to miss some work and my lovely wife took care of me. On this paricular week I found it very difficult to get my thoughts on paper. When one is suffering through sinus headaches, dripping nasal passages, a sore throat, and being doped up on several medicines and herbs. It can be hard to sit up and deliver a chapter of a fantastic story. I'm sure many of you can relate to the diffuculties of being knocked off of your creative feet by a bad cough. 
Now I'm sure some of you are like I struggle through because if I dont do my thing I don't get paid. Fortunately for me though writing isn't my full time job, at least not yet. At the moment it's only my second, so I can afford the luxury of a few days off.
Now though I'm back on the wagon as it were. It was easy to get distracted by everything else while lying in bed and consuming endless media. Even more so now that I'm better, becaue now I'm hooked into the stream of consumption not creation. Oh I want to write but maybe after one more quest or one more episode of the flash, but one more turns into five and now it's past midnight and I'm falling asleep.
If you find yourself in a similar slump then I have the solution. Are you ready for it? It's to write! Or whatever your form of art or passion might be. Get back to your project! Put down that remote or controller and do your thing. When I put pen back to paper and got fhe first sentence out it was like I couldn't stop, and then hours passed and I had another chapter and I felt great. I felt artisticly eased and the guilt was gone from avoiding writing.
Break out of your artistic lull and pick up that pen, that brush, or dust off that key board. Pick up that instrument or that power tool and get to work...or don't whatever I'm not your mother. I guarantee though once you do you'll feel so much better and be reconnected to the pulse of the things you're into and the people that take pleasure from what you do.
Now go home. Do your thing damnit!
