Writing in the void Wednesday, December 20, 2006

I have nothing to say today.

Yeah. I know it sounds weird coming from the uber chatty, sometimes catty, hairy-scary me. But, there you go.

I got nothing.

Nada.

Zip.

Zilch.

Sigh. That's sort of how my writing has felt like lately. I'm just typing and hoping it turns out okay. Jen and Dayna have been reading my stuff over lately and they say it looks good, but I'm just blindly feeling my way along. I'm not certain what's going on. Maybe it's the lack of deadline. I don't have anything pressing to write right now. Nothing is DUE in 2-3 weeks, which is sort of how my last six months have gone.

"I'm done with this. Okay, next project. Due date: yesterday. Best get to work."

I've tried giving myself deadlines in hopes of flogging myself into motivation, but it ain't working. Maybe I should take the rest of the month off. It is the holidays, after all.

Last time I tried to take a week off, I made it three days before I was crawling the walls and broke down to start writing again. It was the thought that counted, right?
