![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve had some great “clicking” moments that have resulted in excitement over various stories! But I’ve also not been excited enough about one thing to focus on it. But I HAVE somehow amassed about 20,000 words of writing this year! I’ve been writing in small dashes of this-and-that, not focusing on any one thing, which means I haven’t made any serious progress on ANYTHING. I’ve been writing short stories, which means I’ve been finishing things! But that also means I haven’t been making progress on novels. I’ve been going through some writer ups and downs this year myself. □ (Again, if you’re not this way, forgive my ramblings and let me know otherwise. Perhaps we writers are attuned to that (and are also dramatic souls *cough* *guilty*) and tend to take it in extreme emotions one way or the other. XD) Because in a story, if it was just meandering along a flat place where things were okay or all right, then… there wouldn’t be much of a story. (Usually the latter being a book character is a poor career choice, let me tell you. It’s either enormously happy for our heroes or super-super-enormously, extravagantly bad for our heroes. XD)īut I suppose it makes sense, since writers are primarily storytellers, and in a story, things mostly ARE extremes. (I’m generalizing, and if you’re not this way, then just ignore everything I said. It seems that there’s not an even road, where we are just quietly content in where we are in our writing, things going smoothly but not exciting (because if it’s going smoothly, that IS exciting), or just generally “meh, it’s okay” (because thinking that rockets one quickly to: “there must be something wrong with it if I’m feeling that way about it!” which turns to super down), and it’s all extremes. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Our writer lives are a series of mountains and valleys. ![]() One moment we are all: O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!Īnd the next: Quoth the raven: Nevermore. I mean, there’s all these times when we’re either SUPER EXCITED about writing and just so energized, and other times when we’re super down about it and think our writing is worthless etc. It’s a funny thing: it seems the writers’ life consists mostly of ups and downs. ![]()
