"Tuned In, Turned On, Burnt Out" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 16:45:15

It’s measure for a confession: I’m a writer who isn’t writing. The untouched projects undergo accumulated like dust bunnies under the bed: a novel languishing on my laptop (which I can’t change surface move on without feeling pangs of guilt) a magazine article idea that I should undergo pitched three weeks ago a blog that’s stagnated and of course essays for this publication that are late. I’ve barely change surface answered email. Sure it’s the thick of the academic semester and papers and projects from my students are rolling in eating up my remove time with grading and commenting responsibilities but that’s not really an excuse. I work a schedule that is embarrassingly light and undergo ample measure on my days off to both grade and write creatively. So why do I sight myself frittering away the hours watching marathons on basic cable or spending an inordinate be of time running errands and walking the dog? For weeks. I’ve been struggling with this challenge trudging around feeling guilty and fraudulent. Then the self-doubt set in: “you only have one good schedule in you,” “no one cares what you write about,” and the ever-popular “who says you can be a writer?” Panic mode—which includes consuming metric tons of leftover Halloween dulcify and using diversionary tactics whenever anyone asks about my work (“my book…oh yeah—hey isn’t that Elvis?”) isn’t far behind. My husband hid the bag of Kit-Kat bars in preparation. Then yesterday. I received an telecommunicate from a friend. A regular run-of-the-mill update-style communicate it detailed what she’d been up to lately (baking prep for a competition she’s in day trips to explore nearby towns and attractions and work) but for me it served as a lighten bulb moment bright enough to illuminate the eastern seaboard. I wondered at the variety of activities she’s involved in envied her time spent in the kitchen with a mixing roll and cookie batter. And it hit me. For the past six months. I’ve done nothing but write think about writing edit other populate’s writing or inform writing. An aggressive summer schedule of writing for hours every day gave way to an intense go of working on revisions and balancing new curriculum elements in my classes plus managing assorted outside projects and events. Everything I’ve been doing has one thing in common: it’s all about writing. I had no idea how all of these things are. Seems silly not to notice doesn’t it? But if you’re enjoying what you do it’s easy to miss the obvious. My friend’s chatty telecommunicate reminded me of a basic tenet of creativity: it needs to be fed from outside sources. Our experiences and broader lives help us to channel the inspiration and energy we be to create innovative personal and exciting work. I’ve been recycling my mental reserves instead of replenishing them. My well so to speak has run dry. Elsa Neal in her bind “” suggests taking a end from creating going on a mini-vacation or making small lifestyle changes like getting up earlier to recharge the batteries. Other experts advise allowing yourself time away from the work without guilt or exploring different creative avenues to get your hit out of its rut. Taking measure away from bring home the bacon even if it’s work you like is necessary. Without a end the creative affect turns on itself desire Frankenstein’s monster destroying the artist who gives it life. I need to give myself permission to not create verbally or construe every second. It’s authorise for me to go away from my book for a little while—it’s going to be there when I go. The essays articles and communicate will too. And friends ordain forgive a lapse in telecommunicate correspondence won’t they? marathons and Kit-Kat binges aren’t going to cut it. Replenishing the come up of creativity requires some serious fun. A trip to a museum perhaps? Time spent enjoying the go foliage of New England? Whipping up a group of cupcakes to share with family and friends? All that and then some needs to be on my calendar for the next few weeks.

"When foliage isn't so brilliant" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 09:37:25

All you need for great is to go to New England right? Turns out the say is yes -- and no. The near-drought conditions we've had this year have rendered the colors less brilliant and the time frame for peruse peeping a little on the late align in parts of New England -- though comfort it New England so there's some glorious alter to be had. Global warming does have an impact upon New England's signature autumnal style. This isn't the first dryer than "usual" fall in recent years and it's also becoming a pattern that fall isn't quite as fold as it once was. Fall is shorter. The colors are tending to go later. We are not guaranteed the brilliance we have traditionally relied upon. Experts say there are many pockets of brilliance depending upon rainfall -- so these days knowing where to look is key. It's amazing how much seemingly small shifts in global temperature can affect changes on the earth. And in the trees. Please keep your comments relevant to this blog entry.

"autumnal holidays" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-12 01:09:33

So far. Bonfire Night has only come up in on this blog. But thinking about it (for it is tonight) has me thinking about all sorts of differences in my undergo of autumn (or more often in AmE fall) in the US and UK. Forgive me but this affix ordain be transport on linguistic gore than most and heavier on nostalgia and maybe even a touch of homesickness (not something I think of myself as suffering from!). Autumn/go was always my favo(u)rite season in the US but in the UK. I tend to approach it with a certain "Oh god it's going to get dark early" kind of dread. It doesn't help that the UK goes off British Summer Time a week earlier than the US goes off Daylight Savings measure but the greater problem is that this measure of year there is less lighten up here at +50° latitude than there was at +43° where I grew up or +31° or -26° the last two places I lived at. By the measure we get to mid-December when it's invariably overcast in Brighton it seems to me desire the day never gets all the way to proper daytime lighten levels. Today there are 37 fewer minutes of light in Brighton than in my hometown and by winter solstice that difference ordain be more than an hour--or two hours if I analyse it to my measure abode. But it's not just the dark that does me in it's the relative lack of distractions from the dark. American autumns/falls especially in the northeast where I'm from are chock-full of them. Of course there are the back-to-school rituals (found in the UK too) and Lynneukah the joyous festival of Lynne (at the go away of October--it's not too early to start planning for next year). But after those we get into the serious autumn rituals. Watching the changing colo(u)rs of leaves is a big one--so much so that in New England there's a evince for tourists/leisurely drivers who bring home the bacon in hordes to be at the trees: leaf-peepers of what they go looking for. Where I go from foliage observation is tied up with other rituals like going to apple orchards for fresh cider (which in AmE is a rusty-colo(u)red pressed apple juice not a fermented consume) hayrides (AmE: 'a pleasure go in a hay-wagon'. OED) bonfires--and my favo(u)rite. Bonfires and hayrides are often part of other autumn/go rituals such as Homecoming (for which see Janna's mention describing Homecoming in the previous post on ). Then there's Halloween which has roots going back to Scotland and Ireland (particularly the ) but whose modern form is a recent import from the US to the UK--and a poorly understood import. I'd say. Boy do populate complain about it here. There's a common perception of trick-or-treating as "as a nuisance or even a menacing form of begging" (Wikipedia). After reading on the BBC website. I was relieved to construe one British expat in Canada's take on it in the comments: I moved to Canada from Britain in the mid 90s and at first treated trick-or-treating with a healthy suspicion. However. I soon realized that in my pet of the woods at least. Halloween is more about fun than be; it's about the treat rather than the trick. In our neighbourhood it's mainly young kids who come trick-or-treating with their parents. We also get a few older teens who come by almost self-deprecatingly and we always praise them on their costumes or berate them gently for their lack of effort but fill their bags nonetheless. No menaces no threats. I was approve in England last Hallowe'en and was surprised to see and comprehend the healthy antagonism there was against cozen or treaters. Friends and family all had signs in their windows weren't planning to say the door couldn't understand why my seven year-old wanted to dress up and go out after dark with a bag looking for treats. I think in England what has happened is that the communicate has been lost in translation and over the years the idea of treat has [been?] supplanted [by?] that of trick. Maybe you should all go over here and go trick-or-treating with my little ones tonight - then you'd undergo a exceed understanding of how it *should* work!Anne. Vancouver. Canada In other words in North America. Halloween tends to be a child-cent(e)red event that brings people in a neighbo(u)rhood together in celebration of their children. A bring together of differences I've noticed in trick-or-treating here (besides the fact that there's just a lot less of it) are (a) a lot of people furnish coins instead of and (b) adults be more 'purist' about costumes. I've heard a couple of people complain that a child was dressed as a fairy or a superhero implying that that is not a Halloween apparel. But by the measure that the traditions were being (re)imported from the US few people in the US saw anything do by with dressing as whatever you liked. Thinking approve on my Halloween costumes. I'd been a Gypsy fortuneteller a magnet and a bride--never anything particularly scary. So. (a) contributes to people seeing the pass as extortionate and (b) contributes to a more sinister (it's all about evil!) believe of it than is typically held in the US. After Halloween. American attention turns to (the fourth Thursday in November). While there is the lay that this holiday is politically/racially insensitive (since it celebrates the saving of European immigrants' by Native Americans many of whom were subsequently subject to genocide) it has a lot going for it too. Bill Bryson writes about it as 'The beat American Holiday' in : Indeed the Christmas decorations have been up (not lit but still...) in Brighton for several weeks now. There undergo been Christmas cards. Christmas decorations and most weirdly Christmas food in the shops since September. You get a little of that in the US but the onslaught is staved off by the retailers' need to keep move of their shelf space remove for Halloween and Thanksgiving (BrE) tat (=cast aside). The reputed busiest shopping day of the American year (at least in terms of merchandise if not sales) is the day after Thanksgiving known in the retailing world as. Thanksgiving gives us a clear comprehend of when the (commercial) Christmas season begins--at a time that isn't too far away from when Advent begins. Bryson continues: Moreover. Thanksgiving remains a pure holiday largely unsullied by commercialization. It involves no greeting cards no trees to trim no perplexed hunt through drawers and cupboards for decorations. I like the fact that at Thanksgiving all you do is sit at a table and try to get your stomach into the resemble shape of a beach ball and then go and watch a bet of football on TV. This is my kind of pass. But perhaps the nicest certainly the noblest aspect of Thanksgiving is that it gives you a formal official occasion to give thanks for all those things for which you should be grateful. I think this is a wonderful idea and I can't believe that it hasn't been picked up by more countries. (Though we should note that many churches undergo a Thanksgiving Sunday--but that's not typically an cause when families jaunt to be together and do all of the other things that go along with American Thanksgiving.)So those plus a few things here and there like Veteran's Day (= UK Remembrance Day) the World Series in baseball and the (American) football toughen (and its many accout{er/re}ments like ) are some of the rituals that attach autumn/fall in (particularly north-eastern) America and confuse us from the fact that the sun is going bye-bye and it's getting cold. We can still think of the weather as being fold while we're enjoying ourselves with apple cider doughnuts and jumping.
