Since talking to you last, I promptly fell off the revision path again. Badly in need of some guidance, I checked out what was on offer at Holly Lisle’s classes.
Sure enough, I found How To Find Your Writing Discipline in Holly’s shop.
While there, I picked up How to Beat Writer’s Block, even though it’s not really that sort of block at the moment.
I’ve already completed the short audio course. I now have a horrible vision of my poor, neglected Muse stuck in my head. Holly’s talk-through for the visualization was very powerful indeed.
Seeing my muse all huddled up and dejected was the kick I badly needed. I will knuckle down on Dragon Sworn. I’ll keep starting every day until I finish. I’ll keep you informed.
Earlier in the month, we went camping again. Tried out some new toys for the first time. (I took the manuscript along for the ride, as I do every time we go away. Didn’t look at it.)
Anyway, just wanted to let you know I’m mending my mindset.

Hi Christine – I may need some discipline of my own – actually, that’s partly why I returned to blogging – to force, or let’s say “encourage” myself to write even though I don’t have words, or don’t care to print the words that may or may not cross my mind.
Glad to see you are still here. Good luck.

Hi Maggie. I’ve vowed never to take so much time off again – it has been too hard to get back into a writing routine. I’m fortunate I don’t have to start from scratch this time around. And I think zombies have been at my brain, for sure! I’ll drop into your blog – I’ve been so bad at visiting anyone that I wouldn’t have noticed anyone missing! I think the camaraderie of like-minded persons is very helpful. 🙂
