I have not had the best experience with my writing lately. I have spent so much time doing rewrites, critiques and editing on my last novel that I feel as if I have forgotten how to write! Isn't that a shame?
To make it worse, my laptop's motherboard decided to stop working on me. I am so out of sorts I am not sure what I can do!
I put my mind on vacation by reading a full blown 500 paged novel, thinking that would do the trick. Nothing. Maybe another book and another until I feel my creativity creeping up on me?
What do you do when you encounter the writing blues?
How frustrating! My motherboard died a few months ago and we can't afford to fix the problem. I'm lost without my favorite tool. Out of sorts describes my mood too.
ReplyDeleteAs for writing, when I forget how to write, I have to stop trying too hard. I'll often do something else creative - sewing, needlework, scrapbooking. This seems to get the creative juices flowing and soon I have the itch to write again.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me! I feel so good that I am in good company! If only you lived close by we can get together and sew or scrapbook and discuss our motherboard blues!
