I think I am going through an idea drought lately. Well, more like than I am stuck on the current novel in progress. I don’t know how to go on. I got the middle blues. Which is where I usually get stuck. It’s depressing. I know what happens after this bit, but not how to get there.
I guess that’s why I started the erotica novella. It’s an idea I’ve had for some time and just never really did anything about.
Though I don’t know – should I take a month-long break from the novel to do this? I am and I am hoping it’ll shake something loose. I was frustrated trying to write a transition type bit in the novel and not get getting anywhere. Maybe I should have written the piece(s) afterward, just to give myself a goal. Maybe. I don’t know.
But the erotica novella is new and interesting too so . . . I’m just not really sure if it’s a good idea taking a long break. But we’ll see.
I often find myself stuck in the middle. Getting started can be so exciting then I sometimes just seem to get tired I guess. Hope you get unstuck okay.
Good luck with whatever you decide!
As long as you’re writing something…once you stop it is difficult to reset abolish the habit.
Damm spell check. Don’t know where that “abolish” came from. It should be reestablish.
I have ideas for cool websites, but don’t have the resources to make them a reality. It’s a different sort of “drought,” but also frustrating.
thanks for visiting my blog!! Cheers!
If you don’t have any new ideas, utilizing old ones you never worked with is a fine idea. I recommend anyone keep a document of their various ideas as time goes along. It helps kill one of the excuses for writer’s block.
