I feel like my brain is running through thick molasses. I'm trying to work on chapter six big it's not really going anywhere. I know how this chapter goes well enough, I'm sure that I can finish this book, it's just hard. Not even sure why. I really wanted the chance to play my video game today, so that's what I did when I got home (probably a mistake on my part). I worked overtime today, again. So I had even less time after work, just thought I'd spend it on myself.
I feel like writing is a really demanding and thankless career. It's honestly getting really tricky to stick with. I do love to create and tell stories--it's really what keeps me going--but I feel like people don't really appreciate them. I keep telling myself that the problem is that I haven't found my fans yet, which is a journey in itself. I think I may go ahead and sign up for my free days of KDP select, get my novella promoted a bit. Then hopefully I can find some more websites to promote at too. I guess the fear is that I'll go to all this trouble and still, no one buys it. It's really wearing me down to be honest. I know I've raged about it before, but this isn't rage. Or maybe a different kind of it.
Either way, the words aren't coming for chapter six right now. I may throw in the proverbial towel today. We'll see.
You know its ok to take a break, some time its the best way to get the creativity to flow again. If you do not want to leave the computer to do it write a Chumbo story just to help you get some word on the paper.
ReplyDeleteThat's good advice. I am starting to feel burn out set in, a break is probably what I need.
DeleteI applaud you, sir. I can't even write a blog entry lately. It's definitely a good idea to just stop and soak in life for a little bit and recharge your batteries.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement. I'm taking some extra time to arrange a short story compilation, but I'm trying to keep it from taking over. Keep at your blog, when you're ready for it of course.
