I am a little upset with myself right now. I haven’t written in the book for over two weeks and that gap is getting bigger each day. I try, diligently, to sit and write, but the words just don’t come to me. It’s upsetting because a part of me really wants to do this; to write this book. I have this gritty and torturous fantasy story to tell and I can’t seem to take the effort to write it down. I think that the other half of me knows that I am writing because it is the only thing that I can do without the help of others. Completing this book is something that I’ve wanted to do, but a lot of my creative spirit seems to have run it’s course over these past few years. I don’t know if it has to do with the changes in my life, or the job I am at, or any number of other factors. It could very well be a little of all those things, but I look at the book right now and I don’t feel inspired to write more. I have a story in my head, and something is fighting me, keeping me from putting it down on paper. My will, my motivation; they have been siphoned from me.

Wow.. So my writing has been going really slow. At the moment, I’ve been averaging only about 3k words per month. Yeah… I said month… I’ve been very fortunate to have a preexisting story that I continue to revisit every few years, and it is now totaling somewhere around 25k words (~70 pages). Nearly all of those pages make up the first act of the book. I had to re-factor some parts of the story that I felt were not adding to the plot and it inevitable shaved off a few chapters. Still, I am happy that I was able to turn an old short story of mine into something much greater.

I know I’ve been slacking on my blogs lately. I’ve been trying to save my typing fingers for the book. I’ve actually had a small stint of inspiration today and got down a few good words. I’ve discovered that it’s tough to write a book if you want to do it right. I’m a very picky person, and I tend to tear movies and other story mediums apart. This includes my own writing. It doesn’t help that I generally only get about 4 hours a week to write. Any amateur writer out there knows that it’s a spit in the ocean to get 4 hours a week to sit and write something creative… =(

With each passing year I try my best to do something new, unique, and challenging. My ultimate goal is to better myself, become a stronger individual, and potentially find a new avenue for revenue in my life. Any steps I can take that may prove fruitful are steps that I will consider in my path. One step I’ve taken this year is to attempt my hand at writing a novel. (more…)
