BOTB2

8/25 - I got so busy last week that I forgot to write my weekly post (but I don't think anyone noticed).

I've had no desire to write recently. Partly due to spending time enjoying other things, and partly due to not knowing where to go next, which makes the first part easier to embrace, leaving no free time.

I have great ideas planned several steps ahead, but the very next step in the story is a big fat blank, and I can't get around it (or I'm being stubborn and I refuse to skip ahead and come back later, though truth be told, that's gotten me in trouble in the past).

On the bright side, I have a great new idea for Rayvn's origin story, intended to be a novella. It's NOT a prequel, 'cause I don't do prequels. But I love his character, and I was inspired by the storytelling mechanics of a particular work of fiction I deeply enjoy.

Colby and I are finished. Through. Over. She was no good for me, but we shared something special, and I'll always miss her, but I know I better off without her. Snack love is brutal. The creepy thing is, this dynamic was eerily parallel to an actual, real-life dating relationship I had in college. Hmm....

Hopefully I'll buckle down and push through this writer's block soon. Wouldn't want to keep the entire internet in suspense! The real challenge will be to do it without Colby by my side, but I know it can be done. I've got to, mister!
