Take That Writer’s Block!

Posted on by

Once a week I post about something I’m loving (tv, movies, books, art, photos, romances, authors, or anything else). So here is this week’s For the Love of…

Last week I started plotting a new book. I wrote character sketches for my two heroes and filled over 100 index cards with plot, character, and scene ideas. Then this week I tore up some of the cards, got disappointed with a few of the ideas that I had been really excited about, stared off into space for a while, cursed all the little note cards, and was just starting to get frustrated (as if I wasn’t already) when it was time to quit for the day. The next day I was ready to throw everything out when an idea hit me that had me excited about the story again, excited about telling the journey of these men.

I just love it when stuff like that happens. Take that writer’s block! I pushed on through and am happily back to working on Walter’s story.

A shout out to these two little guys who were playing outside my window when the frustration hit. We have a woodsy area behind our house and the neighbors call it rabbit row. Watching them chase each other and play leapfrog made for a nice break from the stressful day. Thanks guys!

Hope all my writing friends had a great writing week, and I hope all you readers enjoyed a good book.

I have a new author interview at Supernatural Smut if you want to check it out. I talk about why I write romance, reader feedback, and my next project. Thanks to Brooklyn Ann for such great questions that really got me thinking.

Thanks and have a good one!

I’ll show you mine if you show me yours

Once a week I post about something I’m loving (tv, movies, books, art, photos, romances, authors, or anything else). So here is this week’s For the Love of…

I was the guest blogger over at Fiction with Friction yesterday, talking about my first book and my first love. I’m feeling a bit sentimental on both counts, so I thought I’d share the link to that post for today’s “For the Love of” Friday blog.

The post is titled: I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.
You can check it out at: http://bit.ly/ahTf0o

I’d love to hear about your own first love story. Feel free to leave a comment here or on the Fiction with Friction blog.

Hope you have a great day,
Sloan
