Still a burning ember…

I’ve been battling a massive mental block lately when it comes to blogging. Writing I’ve been doing. Not necessarily the writing I really want to be doing, but writing nonetheless. I spent weeks working daily on a single project. The main document is sitting at 96 pages and about 46,000 words. I haven’t written anything on that project now in about two weeks. I’ve been working on something else. All because of a ridiculous dream…. Keep reading…Still a burning ember…

Reading into every word you say…

I had something I planned to write. And as soon as I opened the blank draft…gone. Should probably take that as a cue to just close the tab and forget about it for now, but I’ve never been one to apply logic to blogging. I should probably also go back and tally up the number of posts that start with that same sentiment or a variation thereof. I repeat myself. You may have noticed. My… Keep reading…Reading into every word you say…

There’s another part to play…

We went to the grocery store when Bob got home from work. Driving down the highway, I could have sworn it was snowing. Bob told me I was crazy because it was 43 degrees outside. When we came out of the store it was SNOWING and sticking and WTF winter where did you come from? Visibility was horrible on the drive home, but thankfully we were only about three miles away so we didn’t have… Keep reading…There’s another part to play…

Slow fire burn…

You should probably watch this video. Because Matt Nathanson is just that good. Also…pretty. — I am perpetually brainstorming when it comes to writing. I have this…habit…when I’m alone to brainstorm out loud on whatever my current project is. I talk through aspects of the story like I’m explaining them to another person. Except it’s just me (and probably a few stuffed animals, if I’m being honest). It helps me work through troubled spots and… Keep reading…Slow fire burn…

A million years from now would be too soon…

Writing about writing should not be so bloody difficult. I’m pretty sure there’s some sort of poetic irony in the fact that I have writer’s block when it comes to writing about writing. All that just to say: I’ve been writing. It sounds strange to say that as I haven’t really been able to for quite some time. The gaping void I’ve been feeling has been filled with dozens of pages of text and I’m… Keep reading…A million years from now would be too soon…

Never comes out right…

I’ve been trying to get some writing done. I’m pretty sure half the posts for the last six months or more have started with that line, or some variation thereof. I’ve been jumping from project to project all over the place and I have this notion in my head that I need to pick one project and stick with it. It’s not a crazy notion by any means. I just can’t decide which project I… Keep reading…Never comes out right…
