That was the best news I'd come across in a while.<br /><br />I've had the experience you describe, but rather than not knowing what happens next, it's usually due to a crisis of confidence. All of a sudden I start to think that everything I've written so far is crap. It's hard to get past that, but I've learned that you have to ignore those negative voices, just like I ignore catcalls on the street.

I vaguely remember reading something similar about Ernest Hemingway, or maybe Hemingway never even tried to write while sober. (He was a journalist, and they used to be notorious for drinking.) It wouldn’t work for me. It does sound as if you’ve been very productive, though. Re the 90,000 word novel, though, you could possibly rework it into a trilogy. And print books still exist!Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-2720534922353706522018-07-12T17:46:19.422-04:002018-07-12T17:46:19.422-04:00I like the way you use productive procrastination ...I like the way you use productive procrastination to go to a project that works for you when you’re stuck on a different one. That’s often the only way I’m able to get anything done. When I try to finish something or else, it often just leads to a complete block.

Instead, it's made many use screen time as a way to avoid face time with people. And when you're typing, you say things you'd never say to someone's face...no matter how many drinks you'd had!<br /><br /><br />Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.com
