Unblocked
In which I finally make progress on my manuscript.
It’s taken a lot of work, but I believe I am finally over the writer’s block that has been plaguing me the past few months.
I knew for a long time what the problem was with my book — rather than conveying the information I found in my source material, I was just out-and-out quoting it, adding almost nothing of my own.
It took a long time, but I went back to page one and started over, and now I’m happy to report that I’ve exceeded my previous number of pages. Granted, I’m only at 42, but it’s better than nothing.
I wouldn’t say that the process of writing is “fun” for me again, because really, it never was. Writing has always been work. But for now, at least, the work is coming easier than before.
