Who’s Writing This Novel?

The answer to that question is “not me.” I have not been writing for the past month or two, and I am trying to work out why I stopped. I took time around April to work out my outline which was a change for me. I generally have a rough idea of a few scenesContinue reading “Who’s Writing This Novel?”

I always want to write, but I rarely commit to putting my butt in the chair long enough to write. When I do crack open the lap top, I read past writing. I read articles about writing.
