Writing Wrongs

May 09, 2007

That noise you hear is the blog party over at Marianne’s for her release of Miles FromYou from The Wild Rose Press. She’s having a contest and it involves chocolate, so go take a peek.

Speaking of winning stuff, I won an ARC of Rises The Night from Colleen the other day. Let me tell you, the cover is even prettier up close and personal. As soon as I need a break from A People's Tragedy: The Russian Revolution: 1891-1924, I’m diving in. Hmmm … I feel a break coming on.

In other news, I’ve been in writing slump. There. I’ve said it. Slump. Slump, slump, slumpity, slump.

Slump.

For some reason, I can’t stand my writing voice. I scan the things I’ve written recently (not old stuff, but all the newer material) and it makes me cringe. I’d write for myself but myself doesn’t seem to be all that enamored with me.

Do you know how hard it is to edit/revise something when you don’t like the sound of it?

Extremely.

So, here I am. Wondering what to do. I already think it’s too late for MacKenna’s story. I should’ve thought of/written it two year ago. It’s close to being OBE (Overcome By Events, not Order of the British Empire or Out of Body Experience). Even worse, I wish I could make myself care. I’m all kinds of “meh” when it comes to writing lately. Don’t feel inclined to write, don’t feel guilty for not writing. See “meh” above.

Well, isn’t this a scintillating post? Seriously, you’re better off over at Marianne’s, what with all that chocolate. I don’t want sympathy. And I really don’t want links to writing prompts. Try it and I may have to ban your IP address. Kidding.

Sort of.
