Haven't blogged in a while, am sort of in a writing slump. It's gotten to be where I'm writing just to keep up the practice, and the stuff I'm producing I really have no faith/interest in.
In cheerier news, I am looking forward to the new Necrotic Tissue, as it will have one of my favorite stories that I've written in it.
So I used to think of myself as a cat person. But since I've started working with dogs and living with cats, I've decided that I'm actually a dog person. I just don't get cats (and I do think that mystery is part of their charm, but come on, mystery can only take you so far). We fairly recently added a cat to our one cat household, and the two just keep staring at each other. One will walk by, and the other will meow. This gets repeated, about twenty times a day. I keep waiting for something to happen, for them to play (wait, do cats play?) or fight (I know they fight). But so far, nothing.
Cats.
You aren't the only one in a writing slump. It will get better once winter kicks in. I hope.
ReplyDeleteI forgot the next edition of Necrotic Tissue was almost upon us - congrats.
ReplyDeletejamie - yay a coslumper! well not yay for you. but it's good to not be alone. i tried writing today and ended up staring at a computer screen and getting a headache. sometimes, the words no be there.
ReplyDeletecate- thanks!
I've been staring at the screen all week, despite there being a couple places that will be closing soon that I'd like to sub to. I just can't seem to conjure the words.
ReplyDeleteHeh. Don't beat yourself up! I'm the same way at the moment. Got a dozen half-finished (some where I even know the ending) yet can't bring myself to look at them. Keep the faith! It will happen.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jameson and Brendan :^) Keeping the faith is mucho good I think.
ReplyDeleteCats are interesting creatures, and totally weird. I'm convinced they are aliens sent here to infiltrate our society.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry too much about being in a writing slump. You're probably just regenerating ideas.
I'm a member of the slump club, but I'm determined that this week will break it. I don't care how exhausted I am or how incoherent the pages are, I'm getting them down. And probably laughing at my idiocy when I read them later.
ReplyDeleteDo not underestimate your self. I know your not. Every person has its own talent and characteristic that make him/her unique.
