Apologies for the lateness of the posting. I don’t really even have much of an excuse for it. I’d love to say things were so busy that I didn’t get to a posting, but it’s just not true.
I’m not being intentionally lazy. I’ve been trying to work on the same short story now or 3 days straight and it just won’t work the way I want it to. I’m considering scrapping it altogether and working on something else so it doesn’t make me crazy. I think I’ll give it one more day and hope for the best.
This sort of thing is probably the hardest part of writing every day. I have something to write, but it isn’t enough to just throw words at the page. Random sentences might be fun, but I’m doing this at least in part because I would like some day to get paid to write. There needs to be at least a modicum of care taken to ensure the product is readable.
Times like these I wonder if it’s all just a pipe dream. I’m a reasonably good writer in that I can put together a fairly comprehensible sentence, but I’m not entirely sure I’m putting anything on the page that people want to read.
Everything I put down on to the page (or at least the screen) right now just seems to annoy me. I don’t have writer’s block, exactly. I know what I want to present, but for some reason I seem to be having trouble expressing it in a way that I feel to be entertaining.
So, apologies. I realize that this is now the second time I have complained about not being able to get the story down. I’ll try not to do it again.
