Another Monday

It was a long first two days off school involving a graduation party and three baby girls ranging from 3 to 6 months that I haven't seen since February. Babies don't seem to like me. Small children on the other hand are attracted to me like I'm some sort of magnet. (We have a lot of younger kids in our family and they all come to me.)

On top of the exhaustion of all that, my writing muse seems to have gone on vacation. Seriously, if you see her please send her home because I'm getting sick of not writing. I'm too depressed to write and not writing makes me more depressed. It's like a neverending cycle. I'm hoping I feel better soon.. Though I'm seeing my baby niece and her baby cousin today again so that's not likely.

Not to mention the fact that I only passed my physics exam by 3%. I got 100% on it first tri so I have no clue what happened there. My teacher's a bad teacher, end of story (and he's not my scapegoat, it's really his fault, because he let us use all our notes and I couldn't find half of what was on the exam in my notes).

So today my writing muse didn't come back long enough to tell me what to write about. I was going to do a review on the entire Inheritance Cycle, but I just don't feel like it.

Um...I've gotten rather attached to Day After Tomorrow and 10 Things I Hate About You. I've now seen both movies twice in the past week. I need to start writing again...this is pathetic.

What I really need to do is find a story that I feel passionate about. A soft one that doesn't make me depressed every time I think about writing it.

In Assassin's Wife Rebekah is still under Taryn's control and will continue to be for quite a while.

No Kissing just depresses me in general because I'm too...kiddie when it comes to the romance scenes if Shipwrecked is anything to judge by.

I'm not sure why I can't work on Andra's rewrite. It's not like that's depressing.

In Jump Hannah's mother is about to die in some sort of accident.

No wonder I don't want to write... In the last two weeks, the only thing I've really been writing is fanfiction. I think it's because of the instant gratification of the wonderful reviews.

Sorry about the meaningless blather. I'm off to work on reading those beta projects and see if I can get myself out of this slump.

I consider that to be writer's block and when that happens, I just wait. I wait for the characters to start talking, wait for a scene to appear in my mind. And then I know I'm ready to jump back in.

Just give it some time and wait. It'll resurface again.

RTW: First Quarter Check-In

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week:  Quarterly check-ins! We're already 1/4 of the way through the year--where are you on your reading and writing goals? Where did the time go??  Reading Goal: 100 books  Where I should be: About 16 Where I am: 5  Clearly it is not going very well. In my defense, I did finish up A Clash of Kings in January and read A Storm of Swords in February. I'm hoping to do some catch up reading over spring break and then really get trucking when summer rolls around. I'm probably getting A Feast for Crows this week, though, so we'll see how long that lasts.  Writing I didn't set any writing goals for this year, other than just to keep writing. My writing kind of dropped off last sem...

RTW -- Picking Titles

Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week's Topic: How do you pick your titles? I don't really have a secret for picking titles. Basically my method is to wait until something pops into my head that sounds good to me. Sometimes that title might not even really fit the book or feel exactly right, but to me it's just a working title until I think of something better. Burning Bridges was the first thing to pop into my head when I started the first draft and needed something to name the folder. I don't know why it popped into my head because I don't really see a connection between the book and the title, but it's stuck through every one of the three drafts. Lately I've been toying with the idea of changing it to Once Bitten, Twi...

Monday Updates: July 29

This is my last Monday Updates post. As of next Monday, I'm going to start up my college tips weekly blog on Mondays, since it's almost the school year.  Song of the Week: Here's to Us by Halestorm How's Life? Well, there are only two days left in July and I'm still trying to figure out where the rest of my summer went. Seriously, it can't almost be August, can it? How's TV?  Watched the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Friday. There was a point in the middle where I wanted to just stop because I didn't want the series to end. It was a fantastic finale, definitely one of my favorites. Now I'm trying to decide which on my long list should I watch next. Silver Linings Playbook is an amazing movie. I already knew Jennifer Lawrence was a fantastic actress but she still managed to surprise me. Taken 2 isn't nearly as good as the first one, but it's a decent movie overall.  How's Reading? Books read: 0 I'm no...
