I had things to say but making a test and all around laziness took over. However, that is what I plan to talk about tonight. Laziness, not test making.
Okay, to be fair maybe 'lazy' isn't the solitary problem I'm facing and I'm not facing it alone. 'Writers block.' I know at least a half dozen of us have been complaining about it. I don't know if it's just lag from the holidays (and in some cases nano burn out too) or what but no one seems to be writing.
I need to be writing. I wanted to get moving on
Blood Red Roulette before I got the edits for
Soldiers of the Sun which will take up all spring. I've done jack shit. New things have popped up then fizzled. I've edited nothing either other than
A Wolf in the Fold which I'm probably going to put away again. It's not really romance. I really need for the LGBT indie publishers to start doing more non-romance.
Anyhow, I was thinking of a few things. One, does anyone want to share their ways of getting past a block and/or links that help to do the same? Here's mine from Chuck Wendig (and if you don't know Terrible Minds, then know this, it's definitely NSFW!)
Art Hard The other thing I thought might help us get moving is a little accountability. (yeah I know I suggested this like two, three weeks ago and nothing but tumbleweeds blew through. I'm trying again, okay?). Nothing major. Maybe once a week (like sunday) we put up at least a word count of what we achieved and maybe lay out a single, simple goal for the following week. Maybe that will help. What do you think? Anyone interested?
No, no word count for the year this time. I didn't DO anything.
have some literary tattoos instead. Maybe someone will tatt something to themselves that we wrote (Hey, I had someone consider it).
Any bets how bad they'll mess this up?
