What do you do when you feel you’re just not getting it right with the writing? When you’re not getting any movement on the major writing project you know you’re supposed to be progressing with?
Those were the questions I was asking myself last week, whilst staring at the blank screen after having taken two of the ‘precious’ annual leave days from my full-time job to get stuck into the writing. Fortunately for me, a little voice suggested I work on another writing project which was keenly motivating me at the time. So I did. And not only did I complete that second writing project, but I also managed to move the heroine in my novel from the two brick walls she seemed to be stuck between. Hallelujah! I shouted. Then, once more motivated, I had to return to work (the bread an’ butter type, you know).
It ain’t easy working full-time whilst trying to become a ‘writer’. (Oops, here comes that question again. What is a writer?) I wonder if one day I’ll actually be able to answer that.
