Writing Process 1: UGH...Why Can't I finish this book?
So I've done the beginning, I've written the end. I know what this novel is and I know my MC and the supporting cast. Then why can't I finish the middle even though I know how it goes? For some odd reason, I am having trouble writing the good stuff, the meat and potatoes, the climax, the denouement. It's only a few more pages for goodness sake.
Maybe it's all the wonderful thoughts that are going through my mind such as: this is boring, no one would read this-you don't even want to finish it, I'm tired, maybe I should go get something to eat, did I turn off the stove? etc...etc...
Hmmm, no seriously, Did I finish the laundry?
Do I really need confirmation to finish this thing? Really? Am I waiting for God to come down and anoint me somehow, maybe in a 'My will be done,' sort of way-- with a deep, resounding, booming voice (well, that is, if God is male-FAT CHANCE!). It'll take me years, OH MAN!
AAAAARGGGG! So this is me venting. Part of the writing process.

When I get stuck like that, I open up a new page and just start writing whatever comes to mind in regard to the section that I'm having trouble with. If I can't use, I toss it, but if I can, I put it in manuscript.

Yes it happens all of the time. Personally I walk the dog. But I still can't leave it alone. Maybe just taking an hour or two might help to get refreshed again.
