He went on to say (and here I don't recall as well, so no quotes), so just write crap. Since then, I've written a lot of crap, but I've never had writer's block.Doreen Orionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12026294659806001562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-48739127634051627882008-03-19T08:33:00.000-06:002008-03-19T08:33:00.000-06:00Colby, welcome!Jenna, the trip should be fun and y...Colby, welcome!<BR/><BR/>Jenna, the trip should be fun and you might be surprised and find inspiration amidst the chaos. Tell the family I said hello and give them my love. :)Melanie Hooyengahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08781235493983907234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-15274821619452677452008-03-19T07:50:00.000-06:002008-03-19T07:50:00.000-06:00Horrible funk here too. 1000 words a day keeps me ...Horrible funk here too. 1000 words a day keeps me going sometimes but I am 6000 words off schedule so not sure if it's keeping me going anymore :(.<BR/><BR/>And, I'm leaving for North Carolina Friday to visit my sister and nieces. We will be there for 9 days, my sister is moving into a new place so I will be helping and I have 3 nieces so a total of 5 kids underfoot (who haven't seen eachother since Christmas)...I know writing is going to be a very distant possibly.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'll be lucky and it will get me out of my funk? Maybe I'll try squeezing in some long hand in chaos...see if that works :).<BR/><BR/>I guess all we can do is take the time away when we need to, when we must, and hope it rejuvenates us enough to go with gusto later :)...at least I hope.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299674277332549914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-74272507409314544262008-03-18T20:49:00.000-06:002008-03-18T20:49:00.000-06:00I'm in a horrible writing funk, too, spy.

But I am the type who can't force it, so in the meantime, I'll fill my time writing and reading blogs :-)colbymarshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056535503422186623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-79451541781813183112008-03-18T17:16:00.000-06:002008-03-18T17:16:00.000-06:00Yeah, I don't have anywhere inspiring to go to wri...Yeah, I don't have anywhere inspiring to go to write. Since I'm longhanding it I could bring my notebook along but I get enough stares out in public - I'd hate to have to explain the writing, too.Melanie Hooyengahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08781235493983907234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-59348430598026716312008-03-18T17:12:00.000-06:002008-03-18T17:12:00.000-06:00I'm in a three-day funk.

I just get in the habit of going to Borders every morning, and then I have nothing else to do but write.<BR/><BR/>Except when DH isn't here. Then it's hard, sometimes, to get going in the morning. And then I feel depressed. So it's harder the next day. It's a ridiculous circle!Spy Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299551957327543491noreply@blogger.com
