so this month I'm doing a challenge with a few other authors. We have to write a 25,000 word book in 30 days. Every single day we have to post updates on how many words we are at and how we are doing with the book. So it is day 6 and I'm not even at 2,000 words....My muse has given up on me...
The worst thing is I think I might start this book over for the third time. To top it all off I've been struck with a migraine again....So you can imagine that it is a huge pain...
I have not given up...I will keep trying to get the 25k done in time....My muse seems to have this thing that when I have a deadline it runs away sometimes..LOL
Funny...........NOT...
Do you ever have this happen when you have work due?
I hope you are all doing great and having a nice weekend...

I feel your pain. If I'm going to stick to this year's writing plan, I have to get my current wip completed by the end of the month in order to start the next (already contracted) project with enough time to meet the deadline. Since creating a goal of 3-4 completed manuscripts a year I've gotten better at making myself write even when my muse is out playing hooky, but it's tough. A couple of things I've found that help: Reading similar genre books. Just reading words, getting that rhythm going, really helps you to find your own words. And making a soundtrack for what you're currently working on. I go to playlist.com and make little soundtracks consisting of songs that remind me of scenes or the overall feel of what I'm working on, and it really helps me to stay focused. Good luck. I'm sure you can do it!
