I've have such an incredible weekend, filled with extraordinary people in extraordinary situations.

I've been to both the SG Brissy Ball, and a good friend of mine's Christian Baptism. One after the other. But more on that later.

I think what has made this weekend so incredible, is that I've not been stressed about my creative writing project. I freed myself from the stress of writing well and on deadline. My stress wasn't helping me, it was sucking the life out of me, so I made a choice to leave my writing for a few days and come back to it after some fun weekend times with a fresh mind and a fresh perspective.

I think I'm able to do that now, because now that I've gone out and enjoyed myself so thoroughly. Thanks to everyone that made the SG Brissy Ball so terrific! I do gush

Now, I feel like a whole person again. And when I feel like a whole person, I feel like I'm full enough to put more into my art. There's no kind of spiritual, creative, or pyschic overdraw making me resent writing. I feel on track, good, centred, willing and able to create a world in my mind and translate it to the page.

I hope this lasts. If it doesn't, I'll know to take a break again, not push through harder and longer like I normally do.

Bring on tomorrow!
