Good Ol' Writer's Block

Currently reading: Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
Most recently watched movie: Robin Hood (the Disney cartoon)
Current favorite quote: "The point of Christianity is not to be childish, but childlike." -Anonymous


I hate lack of inspiration. The picture you see here is the cover for my book that a friend of mine made. (Loriann)
I'm at chapter twenty-six, but I can't seem to get beyond that. So I'm rather frustrated with the story right now in that respect; and I'm also frustrated with it in another respect because I'm very unsatisfied with many of the beginning chapters. I feel the urge to go back and rewrite it all, but I'm forcing myself to go on. After all, this is only the first draft. After this is complete (which I'm hoping it will be by at the latest November), I can then go back and chop it to pieces. So to speak. ;)

So I've decided today to go to one of my favorite places in the whole wide world: the library! I'm going to get a bunch of books out and just read. Perhaps reading good books will help me to be inspired....

Pax,

Trav did a great job on the cover, didn't she?

I can say from experience that just doing something other than writing helps when you have writer's block. I recently got out of a week-long slump by reading voraciously without shame, camping, and organizing the spare room. :0)
