It’s been a long summer and creativity has fled!
I don’t expect I am alone in finding the summer a poor time for writing.
The weather is better (well I do live in Scotland, so it remains fickle) and it draws you out and with no school to occupy my child … the limited free time I have to write vanishes.
Autumn and winter for me are deeper times of creativity. I feel more myself in the Autumn, and in the winter, I turn into a cave dwelling hermit, so writing is easier!
Hopefully now schools back on I might find my muse again?
A Year of Time 
I’m looking forward to autumn. I have been busy over the summer, but I like the back-to-school feel of autumn.

My best writing days are usually during winter. When all is grey and dark with lots of drama in the air.

Exactly! I’m not calling summer a shallow season, but it doesn’t inspire the same way the darker seasons do!

Gorgeous photos! I envy your beach walk right now. This summer has been a whirlwind for me, and I can’t wait for autumn! Today, we are having a rare August rain, with lots of thunder and a brief power-outage. It’s very dramatic, but dedicated writing days will have to wait for the real deluge. 🙂

I tend to write a lot in the autumn and winter also. My kids are all grown and scattered so I find spring and summer inspiring with the thunderstorms and flowers and all the changes, too. I do seem to take a ‘writer’s sabbatical’ every three months or so. Maybe for me it is the change of seasons when I take a break, not a particular season. This is an interesting revelation for me. Thank you for inspiring the reflection. 🙂
