Let's face it, being unemployed is hard. For creative folk it can bottle up your lifeline entirely. I know. I am there now. In fact, this is the second day of my unemployment and I am still so full of frustration and anger and at the same time so full of desire and need to use this time further my writing goals. But all I can do is feel.

So, what is the solution? To start simple. There is a lot going on. Everything is chaos, out of control. So take control by beginning with a form of control.

Create a plan. A plan to become more creative.

This plan will be unique to you and will not be built in one day, but the path to recovery begins with a single step. The recovery plan is your anchor in the storm.

My start, my plan, is this very series. While healing myself and blogging about my road to recovery, I hope to help others in the same boat. It is all we can do. Take it one day at a time. Starting now.

Try it yourself and let me know how it goes.
