I have been sitting in front of my computer for days trying to get myself to write but I am stuck...yet again. I am suffering from Crappy Attitude Syndrome unfortunately and as you can see...I diagnosed myself.
I guess everyone has good days and bad days but lately I have had a lot more bad ones. Especially when it comes to my writing. Is anyone else feeling the writing blues?
It is so bad that I am asking myself repeatedly whether or not I should pursue my writing further. I know I want to keep writing but this little demon of doubt on my shoulder is playing havoc with my brain.
Anyone got the cure for Crappy Attitude Syndrome?

ReplyDeleteWhen I feel like that it helps to get lost in a really great book. Something new and exciting that really sweeps you away. Then I come away from it uplifted and feeling like I really, really want to do that too.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I've tagged you for this meme that's going around...

When I'm stuck, I set smaller goals for myself for the day - just one chapter or two pages or whatever I think I can handle that day.
ReplyDeleteOr I write down ideas for opening lines for chapters or stories. Or a list of ridiculous things people have said that has stuck with me that I can use in a future story.
If I know what I want to write, but have a hard time doing it at my desk, I give myself two hours at the coffee shop. I get a coffee and a treat to reward myself. :)
Give yourself a break if you need to, but don't give up on yourself. Your writing is lovely.
Siv - I will do so. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSarah - Thanks for the great advice. A good book sounds wonderful. I will do that tonight. Thank you for the tag.
Tonja - Thank you for the wonderful encouragement. I really needed that. You rock.
