When Words Dry Up

THE DAY

So, in brief and because it’s late, the day wasn’t that productive, primarily because I haven’t completely thought through where the narrative should go from here.  That is, I know…but I can’t see it in my head. and if i can’t see it, I can’t write it.  I can’t really explain it any better than that.  There are days when the words dry up and you come to a full stop.

All you can do is hope that tomorrow is better.

Otherwise, swam, baked a cake for a dinner party then went to the dinner party.  Tomorrow is busy already; looking ahead, I see work, a cake, doing something with the husband, a visit with friends.

Just have to hope I get past this point.  If I can’t, I might just skip over it and come back.  I know what needs to happen and/or be said/written.  But sometimes it’s okay to elide that and return when the book’s found the right words, or the words have found me.

WRITING OUT LOUD

What I’m Watching:
Not a thing.  Swam.

What I’m Reading:
Not a thing; went out this evening, and now I’m bushed.

What I’m Listening to:
Not a . . . wait, do I detect a pattern here?
