Mary Newman's Blog - Posts Tagged "writer-s-block"

Time to do a blog post and seriously, I got nothing. Lots of issues swimming around out there and I have no desire to write about any of them. I'm all drama-ed out (I know that's not a word, but I write fantasy so I make them up all the time).

My latest story is kicking my butt, so I've been ignoring it. That or I run the risk of deleting the entire book and starting over. That thought sends me wailing to my corner to toss the covers over my head and shut the world out. It's a good thing I didn't sign up for NaNoWriMo or I'd feel a total failure.

Instead of writing, I've been reading. My justification is if I can't be one, at least for now, I can at least support one (or more). My latest finds are Ashley John's Shelter, Andrew Grey's Saving Faithless Creek, Kade Boehme's A Little Complicated, and Mercy Celeste's Out of the Blues. There are more, of course, since I tend to read a lot when my own words won't come, but those were the really good ones.

Now what? I have no idea. The book I'm writing is well past the half way point, and I eventually hope to finish it. Guess I'll take a look at it and see if I can't get a few more words down.
