And these last couple of days showcase my eternal problem: ENDINGS! I have no problem beginning a story (or anything else for that matter), continuing, and producing words by the million, but endings, finishings ... not so much.
I know what to write, I know how this chapter will end and where to go from there. The words are fine for that purpose, not super inspiring, but I see where they fit in. I sit myself down to write, and then ... nothing. Blank paper, or screen actually.
I'm so sorry. I hope that something will give, the dam break, or whatever.
Dear readers and co-bloggers, now commenting is again possible on almost all blogs.
We're still waiting for the blogrolls to update, so if you think I'm slow in commenting this might be why.
While waiting for an update on this, know that I'm still reading and enjoying your blogs, albeit a bit later than any of us would like.
If i make myself sit down and write, even drivel, even a shopping list, just the act of writing sometimes opens the floodgates. It might be worth trying.
SvarSletEven so, i am willing to wait patiently. Your stories are worth the wait.
I always sit myself down and write a sentence with each of the words. This usually does the trick of overcoming the block. Not this time.
SletThank you for your patience.
I worried myself when I saw the words I'd chosen, I've got a whole notebook of words I liked from books I read.
SvarSletJust let them sit in your mind for a while and they will let themselves out eventually, in a story or a poem.
It's not your word being 'bad'. Most words actually are good, only not very modern or sexy words. As I said, I see where they fir in. It's just my creative juices having dried up.
SletThank you for supplying them.
