Ugh!
Great work everyone! I have written a total of 500 words this weekend and I have some sort of mental block. It’s an odd combination of emotions. I guess, if I had to put my finger on it, I am afraid to write the next scene!
I have decided to go easy on myself and leave it where it is for today, gets lots of sleep, and hit it tomorrow morning. I imagine I could force myself over this (and it may come to that) but right now I’m feeling a resistance that is very unusual, so I am paying attention. I don’t believe in writer’s block, per se, but I know that I have an easier and harder time with certain characters. This is a new character; it is her first scene and… it’s not pretty. So, I guess a little resistance is natural.
WoolyBear—Thanks for the pompoms!
April—Good work on revisions and seeing when a scene is off the tracks! It sucks when it happens but it’s better than wasting more time. And I hope you enjoyed your musing.
WGough—Nice word count!
Animad—Nice word count for you too! (Now I’m getting jealous.)
Icedesparado—SUPER work! (Officially jealous.)
Cindyt—What is a floating desk?!
Chase—Nice work! And I say, get inspiration where you can get it! I am continuing to consume Irvin Yalom books on his psychotherapy practice. I just started his memoir which he wrote at 85. I’ve no idea why this is resonating so strongly with me right now but, fortunately, it isn’t my job to figure that out!
See you all on Monday!
