June was my least productive month since starting to write five years ago. I managed to squeeze out 12,000 words on a so-so novel. Maybe it's better than so-so. I did manage to sub one story (which is being "held for further consideration"). But as far as write 1 / sub 1... I'm a failure. I'm suffering from a severe case of the blahs right now.
Have you heard of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs? (
here's the Wikipedia primer, if needed)
During the home remodel (and yes, it has spilled beyond the bathrooms), I feel stuck on level 2: safety.
Notice "creativity" falls under the top level.
*sigh*
My wife told me to go on sabbatical. I'm not going to do that. I love writing too much.
But for now, I'm going to spend a few hours on rebuilding my home.
How's the summer in your world?
