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. :)
