I haven't been writing as much as I'd like to say I have. Consistency is one of my greatest advasaries as a writer. Part of that inconsistency is my own creation of barriers via pointless TV binging or internet surfing. Even now I am putting off facing a new story that has hit a wall of sorts.
The story is just not coming out in a way that feels, for lack of better words, good to me. I started out with some strong images and ideas I wanted to incorporate, but the way they've started to string together leaves me frustrated. The plot came from somewhere in me, but I can't identify with it. I feel like the small part of me that connected with this story has fallen out and I'm not quite sure how it put it back in.
So, yeah. Enough about me and my problems. How are you this week?

When this happens I print out, take the papers and my trusty red pen and sit far away from my usual writing area.
Sometimes just that will be enough to shake the story loose and get something down that's worthwhile.
