Random babblings of a confused miniature writer |
Spent Tuesday going through the writings in my closet and under the bed. I was hoping that at least one of my notes would ignite the original spark I had with the idea. No such luck. I am hopelessly blocked on all my current stories. I have the beginnings and even parts of the middles; I even have some vague ideas of the endings. Making the pieces fit together however is a whole different entity. One of my biggest problems is that I have no one who wants to read what I have. It would help if I had an opinion if it is working. I am constantly second guessing myself on different aspects of the stories. "Would that really happen in that time frame?" 'Is that scene believable?" "Is it possible for that to happen that way?" Terry says I should start something new. I feel guilty about all these partial stories. I should finish something. I know I am not doing any reading and that contributes to the problem. How am I supposed to know what works if I am not looking at what has worked for others? Oh I read Writer's Digest and once in a while I look up advice on writing specific things, but no fiction. I have no real passion about anything anymore. I lack feelings. Without feelings, there is no spark. I'm hoping that I will feel something soon. It feels like my life is on hold. I cannot plan for anything until I find out what others have in mind. |
