"Sometimes, only paper will listen to you," -Pulchritude Press
A writer's gotta write.
And lately, I haven't been doing much of that.
With my novel in the beta-process and the two stories I have ideas for are sticking as well as throwing paper darts at a smooth wall, I have found myself focusing in on my blog, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
But still, I feel useless, inept, when I don't have a story to throw myself into. And even though the beta-reader process sucks more often than not, I still find myself clinging to these characters, this world. With my last novel, I found myself having a sense of catharsis, and when I got it done, the passion for it faded. I didn't have this urge that I have with this one for people to read it, for it to be polished and perfect, to get it in to people's hands.
But I can't seem to move on to another story, even while this one is in a lull concerning it's author. I guess Wyatt, Terra, and the endless desert of their lives aren't done with me.
Which is totally fine by me.
Blessing and encouragement to you all, writers!

If you find yourself wanting to focus more on one thing besides another, then that's perfectly alright. I know it's easy to feel useless when you're not consumed in a project. I've been forced to step away from one of my big projects because I have to focus on being a college student. Don't let it get you down though! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteAh yes! Someone who knows how I feel about this! It's times like these when I have to start working on some more art.
