My posts have been ‘skinny’ since mid-May and there’s a reason for that:

Arthur Hughes “Dark Thoughts “

I have been lucky enough to have had the support from teachers and mentors in my writing endeavors,  that includes having the tools I need to break through bouts of writer’s block.

But those skills couldn’t help me this time- shortly after Memorial Day, I got sick with the flu and then developed issues with my ear.

The ear issue got fixed, but my sense of balance was affected so I dealing with dizzy spells that were triggered by reading, or looking up or down to fast, even laying or sitting down could cause me problems.

Last week I had vertigo so bad that it triggered an anxiety attack and I was mess.

I didn’t know it at the time but that was the last day those spells would be bad and from the next day forward I improved daily and now I can do the things I used to- though I’m still moving cautiously because I’m afraid of triggering an attack- it hasn’t happened because I’ve been popping up and down and srcrolling on my phone like I used to ‘before’ and nothing has happened.

Now I’m back to myself- a little worn out but for the most part. I’m feeling good.

You know, I think that my approach to making something happen day by day in my writing may have helped me with my Ear problem. So maybe my writing skills help me in other ways too.

It’s a nice thought.
