I've been writer's blocked what my original writing is concerned for months now :( But reading your entries about writing makes me want to write, so maybe the block will lift yet.
I've been editing the hell out of this today, and some flashes of what to do for my two scenes have popped in and out of my head, but i accidentally fell asleep in the bath (!!) instead of plotting out the dream sequence like i'd planned to do, so i'm running a bit behind really.
Grr. I'm just trying to make sure the dream sequence is a good one, packed with relevant imagery and stuff, but it just seems to HARD to do.
Writing = teh good, though, yes. Enjoying the hell out of being back in the saddle. Being free to use my imagination on fiction instead of imagining horrible possibilities for real life.
My biggest weaknesses when it comes to writing projects are 1) actually pulling through and finishing stuff and 2) filling stories up, by which I mean, I have certain scenes crystallized perfectly in my head (and sometimes even written down), but they're unconnected, and coming up with the bits inbetween I have the most problems with.
I usually plot things out while I'm lying in bed, so I know too well the dangers of nodding off while I'm in the middle of a really great idea :p
It sucks - i get my best ideas while in bed for the night!
I just finished it. 10800 words. Now i need to edit the hell out what i've just written, as i doubt its really that good, and make sure I've achieved all the things i set out to do.
*collapse*
Funnily enough, plot isnt really my problem - i can plot things like mad, add 50 thousand loose ends in the first 10 pages that I have to tie up somehow later, and its weird how it just comes to me. Hell, i pulled off 64k completed novel in 3.5 weeks in November for nanowrimo... that was a wild ride, I'll tell you!
