I know I said I wouldn't post anything, but a rejection still hasn't come through so I'm freaking out at the prospect that I might actually be Published. I'll say it again because it deserves that sort of recognition; PUBLISHED.
Anyway, I've decided to at least pretend I'm a real-type-blogger-person so I will talk about this super freaking amazing article I read on Men With Pens, which I actually only just discovered through a link in an AW Thread. Anyway, it's about ways you can break through Writer's Block by sorting out your brain into a work space (And y'all know how much I love sorting my brain : D).
How to Unblock Your Writing and Create Effortless Words.
The way it explains how each "worker" interacts is really a great way, in my opinion, to think about it and it sort of helped me prioritize and just focus - by pretending it's a game. I do things like this all the time - make up scenarios and pretend how people react so I suppose it might just be me. And while I'm not mapping out the whole book but going chapter by chapter, I'm adapting the idea and turning it into my own personal writing tool - And I didn't even have to buy it.
On another note, as I believe keeping a blog should compel me to keep everyone informed, I am working on the super epic sequel to Being Evil. I know I haven't even finished off the first one, but I have to write something and this is it. I can't stand going back and seeing how awful my writing may be for BE. I'm going to have beta-reader tear it to shreds for me before I even touch it. Also the article above helped me brainstorm a new short story about my brain - featuring our old favorite like Depressed Unicorn, Kitty-Bear, and Baby Squirrel. Along with Exposition Man (remember him?) and some new characters will join together to defeat The Virus. Schweet, right?
Bye, guys! Seeya in the rejection pile! Or *gulp* in the Anthology.
