Tonight though, I did get in over 780 words. <br />With a total lack of inspiration for anything to write, I looked over some writing prompt notes that I wrote down months ago. I started with "why is that boy sitting on the roof?" <br />Having no clue where to go with it, I ended up writing a short ghost story.Jen Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525814768082336032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580797059731805905.post-52495537828007985792009-09-10T19:28:55.372-07:002009-09-10T19:28:55.372-07:00Good tips.

But I do like to read other writers who are much more advanced in the craft.<br /><br />I think blogging helps too. At least it gets ideas flowing. The problem with blogging is sometiems that's all the writing that gets done:-)Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060752369115661100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580797059731805905.post-46244434610883693572009-09-10T15:45:30.969-07:002009-09-10T15:45:30.969-07:00When it's time for me to quit writing for the ...When it's time for me to quit writing for the day I always quit in the middle of a scene.

Coffee and pho help get the ol' noggin relaxed, too. :D<br /><br />Doing pretty well on the word goals. I've managed to meet them for the past few days, I think that having the reward system helps me.Lynn Andradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441055605537386816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580797059731805905.post-84464413505731236552009-09-10T14:59:05.311-07:002009-09-10T14:59:05.311-07:00For me I find inspiration from reading books in th...For me I find inspiration from reading books in the genre I am writing. I also watch episodes of Sex and the City, it helps get my brain going.<br /><br />I have also forced myself to write my blog more often and that is good to keep my brain going and thinking.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07264251421928032505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580797059731805905.post-66122439315586727372009-09-10T07:19:02.409-07:002009-09-10T07:19:02.409-07:00Um, no, I didn't reach my writing goals, and t...Um, no, I didn't reach my writing goals, and that's because I ran out of time. Darn, I need to make this work. <br /><br />Back to lack of inspiration, I find that I only have trouble getting into the swing of things after writing for a long time--which hasn't happened in forever. LOL! <br /><br />When I finished the first draft of "The Sisterhood" I couldn't write for about a week. It's the same thing when I review books. I read 10 books while I was on vacation, and took a couple of days off before heading back into the pile again. <br /><br />I don't believe in forcing your brain to do something it won't. It will just be a frustrating experience. Yesterday, I read over some of my fan fiction stories to get back into writing mode--which is why I ran out of time. I love those stories and it's hard to pull away. On the other hand, it's giving me ideas for what I want to work on. Maybe NaNo is doable this year.<br /><br />CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.com
