Back in the Swing
I’m back. Actually, I’ve been back for about a week, but buried beneath ridiculous amounts of laundry and email. But, I’m organized (well as organized as I get) and feeling refreshed after some much needed time away. It’s amazing what just giving yourself some quiet can do to boost the creativity.
DS is also back at school, which means I no longer have to break from writing to play board games. Though, I may come to miss my attempts at world domination while playing Settlers of Catan.
With school back in, I’m back to work on Blood and Bone. This is after a three week break. I was kind of hoping that by putting it aside for a while, I would start back at it feeling eager and full of ideas. But that didn’t happen. In truth, each word was like pulling teeth. Though, the longer I was at it, the easier the words came, and I did manage to finish the scene I wanted to. Only one more scene and that chapter’s done. I’m about to put my characters through the emotional wringer, so perhaps I’ll be able to get into the story more. Either way, I’m determined to get this one done so I can really concentrate on other things.

I hate when I hit points in a book where I feel like I’m slogging through. Eventually, the creative flow returns, but those few weeks of teeth pulling are always tough.
