A Conversation in the Park
A little piece of original fiction that crossed my mind. Blah blah copyright blah blah yada.
Eye of the Reader
Being a writer-type person, I sing to the most under-appreciated cog in the machinations of writing: the reader. I'm not talking about those people who buy what you've written and read it. No, I'm talking about those people who read and critique your work before it's published. The good ones are the heroes of all writers, second only in importance to the Muses.
Getting Help
A caution for all of those writers who are floundering with their own plots—don't stay inside your head, be willing to ask someone you trust to help give you a new perspective.
The Process
For me, the most difficult part of writing is the "what do I write next" part. When we compound that with my firm stance that there is no such thing as writer's block, just writers not willing to err, then the situation is ripe for creative conflict.
Done (for now)
Novel done. Feel good. Two weeks, have life. Then start new novel. Sleep now.
Being Creative Sucks
I'm just going to say it up-front: I hate having to be creative. Don't get me wrong. I love writing. It's really one of the bestest vocations ever.
