Your Muse Is Calling You

Okay, I know that some of my friends are a little hesitant, but I am urging you, begging you, to go to
sshg_promptfest right now, and pick a prompt and write/draw/craft/cook/sing whatever!
There are still so many awesome prompts waiting for you to go and claim them. It's so easy, and really, all of us have creative strengths. It doesn't have to be an epic; it can be a poem. It can be a song! There are prompts that would allow you to create a recipe for food, or make dolls to represent the characters, or a crosstitch or crochet or knitting item. I've seen people put together scrapbooks for a prompt. Last time someone created jewelry.
Everyone has the ability, and the need to create. If you're not sure what your medium is, or how to use your medium, just go through the prompts - one of them is waiting for you. This is a magnificent opportunity to play to your strengths with a pairing and a fandom that loves originality and cleverness when putting together something for a prompt.
You CAN create. You can give a treasured gift to someone. You can do it! Don't hesitate, don't doubt; just go there now, and create. The world is waiting to hear your story, no matter how you choose to tell it. Open up your heart to inspiration; it will give you a feeling of accomplishment like no other. Don't be afraid.

Perhaps this is what Erica is trying to tell you - this will be a great way to re-connect to your creativity, and perhaps that is a way to re-connect to healing within. I realise you are going through so much right now, but perhaps this is one of the ways that you can find peace and control.
You are a talented, generous writer. That generosity runs both ways. Your nourish yourself when you create. I hope you will do it.
