ChaBooCha Day 17- regrouping

I had a big therapy appointment today, so I dropped into the library to see what faerie tale retellings that they had on the shelves; and I grabbed 2: The Evil Queen by Gena Showalter and Rags and Bones: New Twists on Timeless Tales (an anthology including retellings by Neil Gaiman and Garth Nix). I tried several times to post pics but the server is having issues.

Since I’m feeling stuck, and going back to the beginning with the faerie tales wasn’t helping, I thought I’d have a look at what some other authors have written. Not to copy, just to get an idea, get the juices flowing, and see if I can inject something into my stories that are floundering. I’m still not sure if the problem lies with me, and I am a hack and writing trite, or if my mental health conditions are being a little more obnoxious at the moment. Either way, I enjoy reading faerie tales anyway, so that’s a win.
