I’m struggling today. I’m struggling this week. I recognize the symptoms of dissatisfaction, and a sense of becoming lost. Maybe the duration of not being able to pursue my standard routines broke me and I need to fix myself.
This blog I’m re-posting is a good start. It’s an honest assessment of who they are and what they’ve accomplished in their writing and blogging, and probably reflect the majority of writers following this course. They certainly represent me.
I especially like the advice from James Frey that they’ve included. I created a minor character who began taking on more of a role. He’s more colorful, and different from my us. He’s talking to me, and partly because of him, the story has come apart. Now I’m faced with the difficult decision, continue on or regroup and turn into a new direction.
I believe between my thoughts of the last days, what I’ve just written, and reading Ryan’s post again, I know my answer.
