Uninspired thoughts on writing
I feel so terribly uninspired today. My mind wants to sleep, but the body refuses to cooperate — or maybe it’s the mind that won’t cooperate with the body. Whatever has no respect for the psyche needs to understand who is in charge here.
If I find out which part of me that is, I’ll let you know.
Instead of having an original thought, I’ve taken the liberty of abusing a few words that loosely pertain to writing:
- Just do it.
- Let your fingers do the
walking stalkingtalking. - Put your complaint in writing.
- …because you’re worth it.
- There is no such thing as writer’s block, if you’re not a writer.
- If you need an excuse for writer’s block, get a cat.
Sometimes the well just runs dry and needs replenishing.

LOL! I can’t count the number of time that people who aren’t writers say they can’t understand the concept. When ir happens, I usually go through my newer books to do some editing.

They’d get it if they wrote 😀 That’s why it’s good to have multiple projects, so when you run out of gas on one of them you can go to another.

True. I do that a lot, but there are times where all I can do is read over paragraphs and ask myself, “What the hell was I trying to say here?”

Yep, I’ve been there many a time. It’s as if you have to persistent and patient simultaneously.

When writer’s block hits — that’s when I usually edit other books to see if there is anything missing. If I can’t understand what I wrote, it gets changed. 🙂

Yeah, I think it’s pretty normal to go through spells like these, not just in writing, but in life in general. Wishing that tomorrow’s a better day for you!
