And it's not that I don't want to be writing- I do! I just cant seem to keep my butt in the chair long enough to accomplish much.

It got so bad that she shook when she even walked by the thing! So I've taken it away, and will slowly re-introduce the crate and see what happens. <br /><br />It is hard to focus around the holidays. :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870655070026853342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1419904098989228942.post-21488879156390374772012-12-04T08:18:12.102-08:002012-12-04T08:18:12.102-08:00My current WiP is plotted out, too, but have had s...My current WiP is plotted out, too, but have had some trouble sitting down and getting to it until recently. Change can be a factor, but if it's in your mind long enough, it will get onto paper, cause you'll drive yourself nuts if you eventually don't. <br /><br />I could use a puppy to eat some old manuscripts. :)David P.

I'm just having issues focusing on it enough to actually sit down and work on it. So, I understand the guilt involved when you aren't working or doing what you think you should be doing.

She looks so huggable!<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your lack of writing, though. If it makes you feel better, I haven't written since July, although that choice is a little more conscious for me, so I'm not angsting over it. Even though <i>Shattered Choices</i> is completely plotted, perhaps there's something where you last left off that needs to change? Whenever I find myself blocked, it's usually because a scene needs to go in a different direction, despite how much I love the way it is in my head.Heather R.

Maybe we obsess over it cause we want to know what happens next. And since we already do know, some of the energy and spark is gone. Sad. But, we will prevail!

This, too, is my first time writing something that I've already planned from start to finish, and I'm not sure why I'm not sitting down to write it with the same enthusiasm as my previous two novels. I wonder if there was something exciting about writing each scene by the seat of my pants, and if the obsess-in-the-car-ride-home-and-rush-home-to-write-it thing was a process that was really working for me. I'm not sure how to fix it, unfortunately, but at least we can commiserate! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
