Editing...
When you get stuck (don't ever call it writer's block, or you'll be climbing into that depressing pigeon hole next) how about considering tone as well as storyline/plot etc.
I described my writing recently to another writer friend, as 'constipated'. The words just wouldn't flow- know what I mean, my friends? (can't refer to you all as girls any longer, as I now realise that we have men amongst us! Welcome chaps, great to have you here!!)
I agonised over the storyline and pacing, and then realised suddenly that the whole thing was tilting towards the wrong mood, the wrong tone, so that the h and H constantly reacted inappropriately. Motivation wasn't really the key this time, it was more subtle than that... As soon as I identified the problem it was like the morning after a good dose of syrip of figs: absolute bliss.
And now for my good friend, Sheri Gilmore's web site address. Sheri and I met in Dallas, and she was very kind to this lonely Brit wandering around somewhat adrift... So, I was more than thrilled to hear that Sheri was signed shortly after Convention- www.sherisecrets.com
This site comes with an over 18 only warning, it's great, it's hot, and don't all rush at once or I'll be crushed in the stampede.
There are a couple more really exciting new web sites coming down the line, so keep reading and I promise to let you know the moment they're up.
Happy reading, and writing everyone!
Love
Susan
