Limboland

I'm visiting family in NJ for the holidays and while I'm having fun and enjoying the comforts of hearth and home, I'm having difficulty finding time to write. I like to write every day, but when I come home to visit, I just can't seem to get it done. And it's not just the holidays. This happens every time I visit. I guess it's too much to expect that I'd find a quiet place to sit and contemplate and get some thoughts down on paper. I continue to journal, but even that feels less than satisfying. I'm looking at my time here as "Limboland." It's frustrating because before we left Ohio I was on a roll writing-wise. Getting lots of words down every day, submitting stories, etc. It felt productive and full-steam ahead. Now I feel like I've hit the proverbial brick wall. Perhaps this is just good down time. I know I'll hit the ground running when I return to my desk and computer after the New Year. It's just hard here in Limboland. I wonder how others are handling this festive time with family and friends. Is the work flowing or stagnating right now?
