Writer's Block...?
"Writer's block is a condition, primarily associated with writing as a profession, in which an author loses the ability to produce new work."--- That's the definition of writer's block I read in Wikipedia, the ever knowing encyclopedia. I don't really believe in the concept of writer's block. For me, as long as a writer has his/her imagination, nothing can stop him/her from writing. But I'm starting to think otherwise. Because, right now, I think I'm currently experiencing this phenomenon. Since I finished my last manuscript, I haven't written a single thing. I can't think of any plot, of any characters that I want to write, I just can't think of anything! I felt like all of my creative juices just ran out. It's really weird, this is the first time I've felt like this. And I really, really hate it. I want to be productive but I just can't think of a single thing to write. I tried making a rough draft but I just ended up thinking of some bad experience that should happen in the heroine's life. I want to write some feel good romance but I just can't stop thinking of all these bad things. Argh! And honestly? I'm kind of afraid of having another R. Just this month, I receive my 5th returned MS. It's super nakaka-bad trip. So you see, my confidence level is really, really on the brink. I'm having this nagging feeling that everything I will write will just be returned to me. I don't want that. But who does, right? I just don't want my effort to be wasted. And I really need money right now. I badly need it. So please, please, I just hope the last MS I submitted will be approve. And lastly, I want this episode I'm having or phase or whatever you want to call it, to end. I want to have my writer self back, okay? peace out~
