Road to Writing
When I first started, I thought all you had to do is write a book. Can you say *naive*, boys and girls? Join me on my journey as a pre- published writer looking to see my name on the cover of a book. I'll talk about all the bumps, bruises, joys and frustrations I encounter along the way.

Blah blah blah

That's how I feel today. Just blah.

Finished reading a wonderful book last night, WIVES AND SISTERS by Natalie R. Collins. A wonderful book, but very sad. I actually cried in a couple of spots. Probably not the best book for me to read when I'm already feeling about as interesting as a dead leaf.

I'm now trying to relocate my good humor by reading a Stephanie Plum novel.

Maybe it's the holiday season. One of my CPs reports feeling a lot like I do right now. We're thinking maybe our motivations snuck out together and headed south for the winter. Not implausible, it has suddenly gotten a bit chilly here in Metro Atlanta.

And speaking of the weather, it coule be that, too. Hard to feel motivated when you can't seem to get warm.

I'm thinking about starting up a separate blog for one of my characters. Maybe that'll get me jump started.

  • Sorry you feel blah. (Hmm... blah is a fun word to type. Who knew?) Anyway, it's Monday now. That should even things out for you since Monday is a blah kind of day. I hope the blahs don't last though.

    Do you mean you might start a blog for a character and have she/he post things from their imaginary lives? That is a cool idea! It could be really a fun thing to do.

  • And now it's Tuesday. Most of the blahs are gone, but I had a sick kid home with me all day. Good news is I got some writing!

    And, yeah, I decided to go ahead and blog as one of my characters. Got it started, now I'm wondering if I should have added a disclaimer about the fictional nature of that particular blog. Too late now!

  • It seems the "blah" bug is going around infecting authors with the "blah-blah" virus. *nods nods nods* Doctors recommend eating lots of chocolate bom-boms, watching lots of romantic movies, reading romance novels, and lighting a vanilla candle.
