Writer's Block

It's like erectile dysfunction – only worse (just to clarify – not that I have ever experienced ED)!I know the words are knocking around in there somewhere but they get lost in translation between my gray-matter and my fingers.

Perhaps its the pressure of dealing with change. The new publishing contract calls for a revised Asylum Lake; not wholesale changes but definitely some copy-editing and a revised ending. I think maybe that's my struggle – the ending (see previous post on endings).

Personally, I have never been good at endings – happy or otherwise.  With the original published version of Asylum Lake I wanted to leave readers with more questions than answers. Feedback has been split on my performance. Trust me, I can understand the desire to want to know more. I, too, have an inquisitive mind – and the benefit of knowing all of the answers to the questions surrounding, Dr. Clovis, the asylum, and what happens next.

People still laugh when I tell them that Asylum Lake is a love story.  It seems so obvious to me. Maybe I just have a different perspective on love, and certainly far different experiences.

So that is where I am – my next project, FLIGHT, calls to me and I am being pulled once again into the mysteries of this damn lake.

p.s. I guess this gives me a chance to kill the dog after-all…:)
