I am in a complete writing funk.
The novel is still, well, in progress. Like it's been. For a long time. My crit group offered some good suggestions, but my motivation for implementing those is about Nil.
I'm sure lots of writers go through this slump. It's not writer's block -- I have ideas. I just am feeling like this very long process is never going to end and that I'm never going to get there.
Through my church, I again have the opportunity to do some writing for the Advent season and I'm hoping that by working on something else, I'll get the juices going again.
I'm consuming reading material at a pretty good clip, so maybe this is just a time to be re-priming the pump. I've been reading graphic novels, thrillers, an ARC of a friend's novel. I was so into Scott Westerfeld's "Leviathan" that I was dreaming the book the other night.
But my own stuff? Meh.
I'll keep you posted on if a new project helps lift the writing doldrums. I'm hopeful, at least.

Yes, stewing a while is a strange process. Kind of where I'm at...
It will come! That's the mystery and magic of being a writer!

Don't give in! Cuz that's how I feel all the time about everything. "Once you start down that dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny!"
