What am I putting off right now? Excellent question! I’m putting off revising my novel. Perhaps it’s a bit of good old-fashioned procrastination, but mostly it’s a lack of “zing” on my part.
Life has gotten to me lately and even though revising my book is a vital first priority, it is also the pink elephant in the room that I’d rather not acknowledge. My book is worthy of my time, don’t get me wrong, but I see it as my own Mount Everest; daunting and seemingly insurmountable. (Notice how the word insurmountable has the word “mount” in it, as in mountain? That can’t be a coincidence.)
I digress. I started this little blurb as a writing exercise that I found on creativity-portal.com in an attempt to bring back my motivation and my imagination. As I looked at what I was typing, I realized that it would be a perfect entry for my currently neglected blog. Perhaps I could kill two birds with one essay and alleviate the guilt I carry for two separate offenses.
Ahhhh, better already.
I’m in chapter 4 of the revision stage of “Wallflower”. I must complete the necessary revisions before my book is fit for agent consumption. No pressure there, right?
One scene at a time Jennifer. One scene at a time and pay no mind to the blinking cursor that’s mocking you.
This post made me smile and encouraged me to get to work on my own writing projects! So, Bravo to you!! You can do it!!!
