So... I am still not back on track. I have some work I need to critique for one of my critique partners. And some notes he gave me. But I still haven't gotten to that.
I also re-worked the outline for the first 9 chapters of Three of Ivory. Decided that was far enough for now and that I need to start writing. But didn't.
I started think about my other project that I want to work on. My dilemma is that the story really has two parts - and I don't know where to start. On the one hand I could start in the middle which would be exciting. I could then leave the beginning for a prequel. But I am kind of anti-prequels written after the fact. I have almost decided to write the beginning and then the end.
I also need to get Shadowed Stones ready to submit to the next publisher on my list. But - I haven't even started that yet.
So pretty much I have things I should be doing. But I'm not. To be honest I got knocked out of my writing grove earlier this year - and it has been a struggle to find my way back.
One thing that has helped me is reading everyone's blogs and seeing what they are up to. It makes me want to come back - even if I have been able to actually get there yet.
How is your writing going?
It takes time to get back on the wagon. Trust me. I didn't write for three months and I'm still trying to get back into writing again. Just take it one day at a time. Be patient with yourself. You can do it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! You are always so encouraging. I bet we will both be back in our writing grooves again soon :)
DeleteYou're welcome. :) I bet we will both be on track soon because we are both Krista's and Kristas don't give up. :)
DeleteWriting takes dedication. Give yourself credit for all the work you've already done. I agree, it's motivating to read what other people are accomplishing, it helps get me back on track.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Isn't great to be part of such a wonderful online writing community where we can all help build each other up?
