Remember the troubles I had with publishing the original "Feeling Uncentered" post? Well, here I am, more than a week later posting in TypePad, and I notice I have two "Feeling Uncentered" posts. Sigh. So, I transfer the updated post text from the one post that has no categories to the other that does have the proper categories. No problem. I then delete the category-less post.
All's fine.
Then, I remember that Lily had commented on my post, and I had added a comment based on hers.
Guess what's not there anymore.
Grrrr.
Since I found her suggestions helpful, and thought they might inspire ideas for others, I tried to recreate those comments here. Plus, I wanted a record for myself! Lily suggested that I create a playlist on my iPod to blast and listen to when I'm done writing. She also suggested drinking some favorite tea, but she thought that might interfere with my own creative tea time. Her ideas were good ones and sparked these additional thoughts for after-writing rituals for me.
If I do create an after-writing playlist, I think it would need to be a loud, happy, raucous one. :) Any good suggestions for absolutely mind-numbing, brain-cell-shattering music out there? Or, really, does any Led Zeppelin song do?
I could also put in my belly dancing tapes, and do some wild belly dancing! That would get me moving (a good thing) and might help purge some of those weird feelings.
The tea thing isn't a bad idea either. It doesn't really conflict with going to my favorite café. I usually just do that to create (like Write Well U stuff), not to write in my novel.
Now I can't wait to write again and see what ritual I create!
