Sep. 18th, 2007 03:38 pmSorting through vacation photos and found probably the best shot I took of the Grand Canyon:
Writing is still moving at a crawl. I've not been feeling particularly well lately, and I'm still recovering from my parents' extended visit. However, I did figure out why the Aztec story was stalled and I'm doing the research I need to do around the detour they'll be taking on their way across the Atlantic. Meanwhile, a few little embryo story ideas are starting to flutter around in my brain, including a possible return of Verah and Sofi. I've gone back and done some revisions in Miledrop, and should be able to move forward again as soon as I can get some momentum going. Currently Miledrop stands at around 43k.
So things are not entirely dead in the water and I am hopeful that a week on the Vineyard will provide just the energy and inspiration I need to get things back into high gear. I am learning to accept that I'm the type of writer whose writing *is* affected by what's going on in the rest of my life, and that that's just the way I work. I envy those people who can wall themselves off from the world and get hyperfocus no matter what is going on around them, but at the same time I'm not at all sure I'd want to live like that.
Meanwhile, I am passing the downtime catching up on the first season of Heroes. It's been a very long time since I've enjoyed a show enough to actually consider turning on the tv to catch it when it's on...
