I've been working on my book over the last two years, and have managed to write my way through many a rough patch, but this latest block has me stumped.
The short story is that right before the holidays I had a falling out with my father because he still hadn't read my book after two years. He hung up on me after telling me he was a lousy father and to get used to it. He has not contacted me since. I'm 32 and this shit is still happening.
Anyway, since then I have not been able to bring myself to write anything. Does anyone have any advice on how to get past an emotional block such as this one? I'm deep into revision, and so close to the finish line, but I can't seem to bring myself to keep going.
