sometimes i find it easier to just find inspiration when and where you least expect it. no one can tell you how or what to write. but aside from those characters (which it is completely understandable that you're attached to, they're like family) what else do you see when you look around in your life? do you have a quirky friend no one gets but you, a male whore of a close friend who can't understand why women always torture him after the break up? maybe you are terminally single? there is always a world out there to inspire us. we just have to notice it. that is just my suggestion. good luck and break a leg. by the way... i'm Leslie.

NaNo anyone?

NaNo (National Novel Writing Month) is only a few days away and I haven't made it all the way to the 50k word goal since the first year I gave it a try. 

So 1 in 5 isn't too bad, right?

I really want to make it to the finish line this year, and even more, this year I want to write something worth finishing.  

I have an epic planned, literally.

It was bought (by a publishing house which shall not be named) and I even had my first advance, until the editor turned around and decided my book should be a series with a list of major changes. (:sigh:).

The project itself, which had consumed five years of my life is now on hiatus indefinitely.  I'm so discouraged that I just need to write something else.

The problem is that I ate slept and breathed that story for so long I can't really find myself inspired to write something unrelated to it.

I'll sit down and start writing and what ends up coming out is  a flood of dialog between my main character and other supporting characters - but it's garbage and doesn't flow. 

Meh.

So it's time to start, and writing is the next great adventure that you haven't written yet.  The question simply remains, what about?

 I have no plot now and thats a problem!

Oh.. and hi, I'm Kit.

 

Cool
