Gahhhhhhhhh!

*head desk*

Today has been a very odd day all-in-all on SO many different fronts.  The good things about today are:  1)  It was nice and sunny.  A real summer day.  2)  The sun shone.  3)  I think I know how to begin the next writing project.  4)  Cheyenne came by for a wonderful visit.

The things that did not go as well as planned:  1)  My left arm is hurt.  Thankfully I am a righty.  2)  The current story is continuing to thwart me.  3)  The word count for today is dismal.

Maybe tomorrow I will run away to the library with some notebooks and just relax from computer writing for a day.

What do you do to jump-start the creative fluids when a project simply isn’t cooperating?  Maybe something you do can help me.

Thanks in advance for everyone who suggests something.

    Well, sometimes I switch to another project. Or read something I WANT to read. On the other hand, I’ve been known to worry a difficult part of a story for days, falling asleep (or not) trying to tell it yet another way.

      I believe I know how to get from *here* to *there*. Luckily I don’t have to re-write a huge chunk – merely a couple of paragraphs. I hope. *fingers crossed* Oh, and I also dove into reading, too. Reading and getting my mind onto a different subject helped relax the brain cells. Thanks for the suggestion!

    While I love blogging, in no way would I call myself a writer/author. But when I hit a brick wall it helps to step away to a quiet space, meditate an listen to my inner voice. Most of the time it works for me. Hope tomorrow is better for you than your today has been.
