Less than a week

July was the beginning of my next journey into writing another book in a new genre. I have completed 2 so far this year, well the first draft that is. I was so excited yesterday to get home to start writing form 9-12 which turned into 10-11:30. Yes, I was disappointed in myself. The biggest disappointment came when I saw the scene unfold before me and I forgot how to write. I was sitting at my desk with pen in hand and nothing. In less than a week, I went from excitement to writers block. I wonder if I was tired. No, that couldn't have been it since I didn't fall asleep until almost 1am.
Now I am sitting at work and guess what, I want to write. But no scenes are flashing in my brain. All I see are the trees outside my window standing there. Must not be any wind today.
Maybe I should go over my notes that I research for this book. Will that jar my instinct back? Or will it tease me and let me know how far I have to go to complete the book. I have one chapter of many done.
Getting from point A to point B is hard because the path in between isn't necessarily a straight line. I have no idea what mine looks like, it is more than a squiggly line, it is a big old mess.
Maybe I am putting too much pressure on myself and it is affecting my creativity.Or maybe I should go back to what works and write at work. One thing I do know, is I don't want this writer's block no mo(yes, I am pouting). Who wants it? I will gladly give it to anyone for free. Or better yet, I will pay you to take it off my hand. :)

Sylvia Hester What a coincidence that one of my favorite writers in the world posted this link on his page, today of all days. He must have heard me fussing, cussing, and throwing my pen against the wall last night.
