Stuck

For everything I've written lately, there's a ten page limit; I write up to that point, then either get stuck or bored and don't write anything more on that idea.

What is it about these stories, these characters, that bore me? I just can't seem to get into them enough to care. For everything on which I've worked for the past month, that disconnect has prevented me from getting truly "into" my writing; I can't get into my own head to pry out these concepts and images.

I suspect my deep-seated fears are still strangling me, continuing to distance me from the camera in my mind. Although despair often tempts me to just call it quits - for good - I'm not ready to give up yet, dammit.

I know I can write. I can write well. But still my subconscious seeks to protect me from a host of shadowed terrors.

I just have to out-stubborn myself.

Twisted, innit?

Perhaps you need to do what you told me to do when facing my fear... don't worry about writing in order...write the fun scenes first. So, imagine your characters in the scene that gives you the most pleasure and write that...

Hugs!
