Are you there Mojo?

Hey Jet! is that my MoJo?
Are you there Mojo?
Have I got it back?
It's been nearly two years now since I started to lose it and for the past year I almost totally forgot that it ever existed.
I only blogged twice.
In a whole year!
Of course I didn't quite have total writer's block, I still wrote.
But not for fun.
Not just free writing for the hell of it.
Why did it happen?
Still not quite sure.
Did I just get bored? I don't think so; I just couldn't write. All these words and images and sentences got stuck in my head and they couldn't or wouldn't come out. The just repeated themselves over and over and became like sticky mud that I couldn't wade through. I attempted to write - I hate attempting anything. I wanted to do!
I tried so hard but then it all fell apart - a bit like me.
The harder I tried, the more ridiculous the words sounded as they splashed on the page.

Higgledy piggledy 
splish! splosh! splash!

They didn't make much sense and then I got angry and frustrated and I thought:

Give it a break.

Give it a rest.

Slow down.

And then life whizzed by and I thought about it, and thought about it, and then slowly started to  write again.
Not for me but for others hoping, praying and crossing my fingers that by doing so I would find my voice again.
It's a bit rusty.
Not sure how it sounds.
But willing to write again  however it sounds is good enough for me!

Where’s my MoJo?


I am finding it seriously difficult to write anything on my blog. I just feel kind of stuck in a morass of indecision, half formed sentences and ideas that refuse to coalesce.
My sense of humour remains hidden along with inspiration and motivation.
This is serious.
I will be forced to take DRASTIC MEASURES to get my Mojo back.
I fear I will have to sign up again to a month of NaBloMo to get back into the swing of things.
I never expected it to be so hard
I mean I have just had a holiday of a lifetime with my family in South Africa; there are loads of tales to tell and anecdotes to share.
Some are truly funny.
But just writing that makes them suddenly seem flat.
Humph.
Maybe its the rain and grey clouds or maybe I just need to stop thinking and write.
How would you get your Mojo back?

Go on you know you want to...
