Love the humor here! And, unfortunately, I have my own Bubba. But, I think you've already stumbled upon the solution - my solution, anyway. I just have to make myself write my way through writer's block. Let go of the stress, pressure, analysis, etc. and just write. And then, like you said, a miracle occurs and I'm really writing.<br/><br/>I don't have to wish you success in getting through this because I know you will - you always do, and manage to crank out awesome work!

I don’t have to wish you success in getting through this because I know you will – you always do, and manage to crank out awesome work!

Do they not realize I have the power to kill them off? ;) Ooh what I really love (sarcasm here) is when I can’t freaking write a scene and then I go to bed and the whole scene plays out in my head, the people won’t shut up, but if I get up and try to put it down, they are suddenly mute.

Then, my head gets in there and the story won’t go away until I’m done.

It’s just finding that place that gets tough sometimes.

They really do drain you dry of all writing energy. Hope you get on track before deadline approaches. Bonnie, I love writing, too. Just wish I had more brains to do it, LOL. Lucinda, thank you for the lovely comments. :) Apprecite them. Getting a new muse, soon, I hope! Day jobs suck, Jodi. They really do drain you dry of all writing energy.

I am having my own Bubba moment. My next book is due October 1, which wouldn't be so bad, but the day job has been pushing me to work full time and eating into my writing time. So if I could just get started it would be great. But I cannot seem to get the story started. I have 1,000 words and there she shits... LOL! I meant sits, but I guess my mind knew what it was really thinking.<br/><br/>One thing I did do is join 70 Days Of Sweat. If you havent checked it out yet, drop by Alison Kent's blog. Great motivator with lots of awesome author company.<br/><br/>Best wishes. Bubba, get off your ass. It's getting so wide it's taking up Devyn's couch and mine, too! Feeling your pain, sweets!

I wander around the house…upstairs, downstairs whining inside my head.

Then I finally just get angry! I sit, I write. Then I do it again the next day.

Griping about it doesn’t seem to help, either.

I’ve got a kid who says: Poor Mom…stuck working at the job you love. Doing what you’ve wanted to do all your life. Yeah, Mom you’ve got it rough.

That tends to put my butt in chair!

Bonnie
