I'm writing long hand now and have pulled out another project or two, so I think the dam is breaking!bdtharphttp://bdtharp.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105320592980752653.post-66429535114504013452012-09-19T13:45:27.575-04:002012-09-19T13:45:27.575-04:00Bonnie,

At night it disturbs my sleep! Sooooo, I'm determined to stick to my laptop, with a few breaks now and then. Writing isn't easy,but those of us who are retirees can hopefully make adjustments.Mary F Schoeneckernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105320592980752653.post-15659960820375023492012-09-19T12:49:21.718-04:002012-09-19T12:49:21.718-04:00I never thought about a writing swap.

I was thinking during my AM walk that I could go back to a children's story I started months ago. It'll be shorter and should be fun. (Now if I can just find my notes...). <br /><br />Thanks everyone. These are great ideas. Sometimes it is very lonely when you're blocked, but it's nice to know others have the same trouble from time to time. :-)bdtharphttp://bdtharp.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105320592980752653.post-45120327267034811412012-09-18T16:43:55.650-04:002012-09-18T16:43:55.650-04:00Hey Bonnie,

I don't have an acquisitions editor but have put a self-imposed deadline to have this book finished but for some reason I've lost interest in the story, not because I don't feel it is a compelling story to write, but I've been away from far too long to get the momentum back and write the story. <br /><br />Here's a thought - why not switch stories with another writer and you write a couple of pages in their story and they write a couple of pages in your story. After swapping back, then maybe it will spur on new ideas to carry your story forward or will allow you to pick up where you left off and get back to writing the story. I don't know if it will work or not but it's something I've been thinking about - it's kind of a brainstorming session in a round about way. <br /><br />I don't know if I'll ever get Imogene's story written or not but something will give and the story will really start flowing. <br /><br />I think I need to follow Karen's advice - write a sentence, two or a paragraph before playing games on my tablet and limit the time I actually play the games, although it is very difficult with things like bubble blast and spades and spider solitaire. And sometimes I do actually have work to do so that interferes with my writing and play time - lol. Actually I should say my writing and play time interfere with my work time.<br /><br />Great rambling post and thanks for sharing some insight into what is going on with you rigt now - E :)<br /><br />Elysabeth Eldering<br />Author of FINALLY HOME, a middle grade/YA mystery<br />http://elysabethsstories.blogspot.com<br />http://eeldering.weebly.comelysabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07052446855668120700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105320592980752653.post-80436796364786070642012-09-18T11:51:00.989-04:002012-09-18T11:51:00.989-04:00I generally make bargains with myself.

Since I like playing solitaire on the computer (yes, bad habit, but...), if I have trouble getting started, I'll tell myself I only need to write once sentence and not worry about how good it is or even whether it's exactly right for the story line at that point. Just one sentence, then I can play a game of solitaire. Then I have to do another sentence. Usually after three or four sentences, it gets rolling and I find myself writing three or four sentences at a time, then a couple of paragraphs, etc.Karen McCulloughhttp://www.kmccullough.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105320592980752653.post-15388736317819549272012-09-18T10:43:11.198-04:002012-09-18T10:43:11.198-04:00Good suggestions.

However, I also have a bad back and so can't afford to sit for very long at a time. So I get up and do other things and then come back again to the computer. I've learned to cope. While I do housework, I'm writing in my head. Same with walking or stretching exercises.<br />As for being blocked, it happens to all of us. Make certain you sit down at the computer each day. Since you're still working, aim for some time early in the day before work if possible or in the evening instead of watch TV, etc. Do some stream of consciousness writing. Write a rough outline for your new novel. Give your main characters names and descriptions. It will all start to come together.Jacqueline Seewaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177500620940251009noreply@blogger.com
