I haven’t written my book or screenplay in over a month!

Good evening, readers! 

Today, I was off work and have been thinking about why I haven’t worked on any of my projects in over a month! I feel so bad. I am unable to focus on them right now due to work. School isn’t so bad, but work is a mess. I’m working crazy unstable hours with the worst pay ever. I know I complain about work a lot, but I am looking for a better job. My body has suffered a lot due to this job. My feet hurt all the time and now are swollen after a shift. Anyway, back to the writing. I think I really haven’t been in the mood to write and that’s okay. But, I want to get back at it. With work, school, doing PR for my 2 clients, and my internship, there is never any time. When I’m off work, I just relax, catch up on some shows or read my book.

What have you guys been up to? 

Let’s talk about it in the comments. What has been going on with you lately? Are you writing? Reading a good book, do tell. Inquiring minds want to know. To my new subscribers, thank you SO much for subscribing to my blog! I get so excited when I get an email from someone who is following my blog. Writers, do you ever find yourself thinking of new things to write about? I have been thinking about that lately and I swear, my ideas (to me) are starting to suck. LOL… Seriously, I have a movie idea that I started, but I can’t get it right for some reason. Honestly, I think I have shut down because nothing has become of what I have already written. Sure, I won a screenwriting competition, but no producers, directors, or anyone has inquired about it. I have pitched to some people, sent query letters and nothing. Well, at least nothing yet. I hope something changes for the good. I don’t know. What do you think?

Destined To Write

Whaddup, Readers!

I’ve decided to switch my schedule a bit and do a blog every other day. I notice that I have been loosing some followers, but please, come back! I guess people were tired of reading about writing stuff. But, I can’t help it, I am a writer and this is my “writing blog”. I’m trying to be more versatile and talk about me and different topics that will keep you interested.

Why I’ve been MIA…

I was sick a few days with asthma. If you haven’t read my previous blog posts, i had an asthma attack and was in the ER for 6 hours! I hate hospitals with a passion. But, I’m getting better now, 4 breathing treatments later and some meds, I’m almost back to my old self. What I will say is that the experience really made me think about my life. I want to be a successful writer and to do that I need to be writing. I don’t know where the urge for writer’s block came from. I guess I felt as if my characters no longer interest me or had anything to say. I don’t know…

But…

I’m going to try harder and write everyday. Even if it’s a little everyday until I get back in the game. Another reason is that I’m started to doubt myself as a writer. I mean, here I am 29 with a MFA in Creative Writing ( which I love), but I haven’t gotten a job in my field yet. People who don’t understand why I love writing tell me, ” Oh that’s something that you won’t be able to find a job as a writer. Don’t get me wrong, it’s frustrating and I apply at other places as well, but nothing seems to be working right now. Thank God for parents I tell ya!

Destined To Write…

I’m GOING to get my groove back and write. Maybe I need to put in my mind that this project is for someone else and I’ll be paid once it’s done. LOL…I tell you when I had some ghostwriting projects, they were done, so fast. I’m trying to channel my inner writer and get things done. I mean, I have so many stories to tell. I guess what i need to do is get all of those doubts out of my head and just write for me and continue to seek tangible employment. I tell you, it’s all a pain in the butt, but I will be successful from something. I’m determined so I will be destined to write.

Writer’s Block Part 2

                                                                             

Hey viewers and writers!  I know that having writer’s block can be a pain in the you know what. I currently am suffering from it. But, I’m here to say don’t give up! There are time when you don’t feel like writing anything. Currently, that is my situation. I’m just like “blah”, I’ll write when I feel like it. This can last for up to two weeks. After that GET TA WRITING! I’m starting back writing again. I have my writing music available and my laptop ready. I will be writing Act 2 of my screenplay called I’ll Never Tell. I’ll elaborate with more details in another blog. I was told that if you don’t want to write, don’t. This has been my very saying for the past two weeks. Some of my friends who are writers will post their word count, or that they finished writing a few scenes. Then I think, ” Man, I want to do that too.” Now, I have gotten my mojo back. I want to know what motivates you to write? Do you have to be in a writing mood? As writers we have our own lives and do have normal jobs and life can happen. Stress can consume the mind and eat at you like a virus. I know that things happen but writing can be our escape. We can talk to our characters that live in our head and be in a world of our own. No one will understand what we are feeling when we are writing. It’s a writer’s thing, I say. We are writers will always be “weird, misunderstood, the odd one,etc.” People always have a “look” when you say that you are a writer. LOL…at least I’ve noticed it. Keep going, keep grinding. I know I am.

Some Inspiration from one of the greatest! 

“So okay – there you are in your room with the shade down and the door shut and the plug pulled out of the base of the telephone. You’ve blown up your TV and committed yourself to a thousand words a day, come hell or high water. Now comes the big question: What are you going to write about? And the equally big answer: Anything you damn well want. ” – Stephen King
