Finding That Writer’s Spark Again

It’s been a busy couple months, my friends. Between working on a large project on my day job and releasing not one, but two books in my paranormal wedding planner series, I have not had any time to really start writing my next book.

And when it all comes down to it, the writing is the magical part for me. Let me rephrase that – it’s magical when it is flowing!

So how do I get that writing spark to ignite again? Brainstorming helps somewhat. Trying to think through some of what I want to have happen in the book. I am not a plotter, so I don’t outline my stories. But I do have some ideas of where I want it to go.

Since I have been struggling a bit, this weekend I decided to pull out my headset and try dictating my story for a while. It’s a different way to use my brain as part of the process and it seemed to work. Yay, team dictation!

Plus Girl Cat liked sitting on my lap instead of having to fight for space with the laptop!

So I’ll be donning my headset tonight and talking away to my laptop. We’ll see where it takes me. Hopefully further into McHenry’s story.

Before I sign off, I want to take a moment to thank both the Veterans and active duty military who have served or continue to serve. My thoughts, prayers, and thanks to you for all that you do.
