Yesterday I decided that I am FINALLY going to do another layout. As you may recall, I signed up to do Focus52, with the intent of doing one layout a week. We're already thirteen weeks into the year so I should have about thirteen layouts, right? Guess how many layouts I've done? Three. *shh* Yes, that's right. I said three. I've finished three layouts.
So last night I sat down feeling all inspired to do a layout, with grand ideas about trying to get caught back up even. I popped over to Jan's page and saw that the prompt for this week is silly. However, I wasn't feeling the word silly. So I started writing about something else. And to be frank, it wouldn't have mattered WHAT the prompt was, the thing on my mind was that I was ten weeks behind schedule...and WHY I was ten weeks behind schedule. I started writing about my crazy life and about how I'm getting my kids from one place to another all day long and my schedule changes from day-to-day which makes it even more confusing and complicated.
When I had finished my journaling and was starting to think about embellishing my page, it suddenly struck me that this all seemed a little familiar...very familiar, in fact. So I looked back at those three completed layouts - and this is where silly DOES end up coming into play. ahem I already did a layout about my crazy schedule. I've now completed four layouts this year, and half of them are about my crazy schedule.
But I think that's fitting. That's where my life is at right now.
(But next I hope to do a layout that isn't about my schedule.)

ha! I've done that before :)
Silly girl! LOL ;)
As for your project, I think that as long as you're doing *something* creative, you're good to go. When creativity seems like a chore, it's time to do something else, like pick up the camera like you've been doing. I had originally planned on doing different things weekly too, but it's my camera that calls to me, so I roll with it :D
That's funny! It seems these days that I only write about not having time to write.
