HE WROTE: stalled

It's pretty common. At least for me. Like every month or so. I'm leery of writers who claim to have a rigid schedule of X number of pages or words per day, every day. There are some who do that, of course. But I think the creative process can't be quantified so easily, at least for me. When I grind to a halt on a story, I have plenty of other work to do-- writing non-fiction, updating teaching material, outlining and research, etc. But I trust that my subconsious is working on the problem. And I force myself to sit at the computer and try to do something.
I'm rewriting Shane's scene. Also rewrote the entire manuscript with the changed level of escalation. Still some rough spots.
Something that occurred to me this past year that one of the fun things about being a writer-- and also one of the most difficult-- is that every day you are inventing something completely new.
So back to work while Jennifer goes to Studio 54 in New York, partying.
