It began a week ago today, or maybe even a week ago yesterday. The dry spell, I mean.
It’s not writer’s block. I know exactly what I want to write next on my work-in-progress. And what after that and after that. I think I finally have all the scenes in my mind right up to the end of the book.
So why not write? It’s an overwhelming sense that it doesn’t matter if I write or not.
I could say more, but I think I’ll leave it at that.
I can relate. I’m actually thankful that I don’t have the sense of “I have to write or I’ll die!” that seems so common among writers at conferences. I do love to write, but at the moment I don’t have any books in progress, nor do I have any in mind. I’m content to concentrate on blogging, url optimizing (part-time job) and promoting my current books (haven’t done as much of that as I should). I really can’t imagine keeping time to do as much writing as you do, along with a full time job. Maybe you just need a bit of a breather. You can always write more — and I hope you will, as you’re talented.
David, your writing matters, and it does count. Keep writing.
