Devoid

Posted in Rants, Writing at 6:05 pm

I have no idea why it’s been so hard for me to write stuff lately. I promised on Tuesday that I’d have something yesterday; that didn’t work out because what I wrote for yesterday was functionally identical to something I’d written months ago– and posted. No point in linking it because nothing’s changed– I just updated the references. I have this huge knot of tension– I want to write something– but I’m just full of fail when it comes to sitting in front of the keyboard and actually typing something.

This has even extended to The Emily Story, which still doesn’t have a title beyond that. Out of the ten outlined points, I’ve got three done, and I’m about 4500 words intot he story. It’s going to be a longer-form story, but right now it needs a little bit more work because the original outline has sort of become obviated. That’s part of why I’m stalling, too. It took me a huge amount of effort to rewrite the outline at lunch. What’s worse is going to be writing the synopsis for Blueberries proper, as I need that before I can finish sending out the first set of query letters. Which I’ve also been stalling on.

I’d probably best get back to those, then. Here I was, thinking I had everything all set, and now writer’s block so thick you couldn’t cut it with a diamond nails me. GAH.
