Hello book lovers,
Did you know that this month is National Writer’s Month? I was sort of a slacker last year and didn’t feel the need to participate because the words wouldn’t stop coming, but this year was different in a lot of ways. I’ve gone whole months this year without writing a single word, which is so unlike me. It’s not that I didn’t want to. The words just wouldn’t come. I guess you could say I had a few bouts of writer’s block.
Anyway, they do this thing on Nanowrimo where pep talks are provided by well-known authors. I’m not well-known… Yet. So, I thought that I would give one of my own here.
Short, sweet, and to the point.
Yes, I’ve had writer’s block. Yes, there have been times when I wanted to say forget it and give up, but I didn’t. Every day, I opened up my laptop and stared at the screen. Every day, I tried, tried, and tried again until the words started to flow. I’m writing again. I joined the challenge this year. Fifty thousand words in thirty days and I’m well on my way to meeting my goal.
So for anyone who feels like giving up, don’t. Keep trying. Have patience. The words will come at their own pace and being able to type those two little words, THE END, will be so rewarding and well worth the wait.
