I thought of Terri Windling on my way out the vardo door, and went to her blog to find her writing about "Writer's Block" Among some writers' comments I found this one about "crop rotation" that really feels right for me.
Applied gardening.
Andrew Macrae: "This is what works for me: I practise crop rotation with my creative endeavours. I’ve found that when the nitrogen runs out in the soil in one field, it’s best to leave it fallow for a while and cultivate another. "

I feel that way. Both my vegetable garden and my creative gardens are in need of crop rotation: we won't plant beans or peas in the same place as this year's gardens though both crops were magnificent and abundant. Other seed or a fallow plot. Same with my writing. From so many public blogs to blogging private, and picking up on writing that has been fallow for awhile.
