8 Moments When You Swear You’ll Never Write Again

We get it (and we’ve been there!).  There are days, especially in these stressful times, when it feels like the words will never come.  Here are just eight examples.  Have others??  Of course you do!  Feel free to share!!

1) The Late-Night Brain Dump

That moment at 4:30 am when you cannot stop writing because the words just keep coming (until 4:45 am when they stop).

 

 

 

 

2) The I’ll Remember Tomorrow

 

That moment you didn’t write down the idea you had, and, eventually, you’ll lie on your death bed trying to think of it.

 

 

 

 

 

3) The All Day Procrastination

 

 

When you block of 8 hours of writing time for yourself and end up doing dishes, mopping the floors and generally getting nothing done.

 

 

 

 

4) The Bad Review

 

The moment you read your first public bad review (hopefully it wasn’t from IndieReader!).

 

 

 

 

 

5) The Broken Leg

The day you get hurt and realize you probably shouldn’t have quit your job with health insurance.

 

 

 

6) The Party Ideas

 

The moment when you’re at a party and someone hears you’re an author, and they have the best idea for a story.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7) The Peak

 

The moment you realize your first book was the best book you’ll ever write, and all your new ideas are just variations on that first idea.

 

 

 

8 ) The Mind Eraser

 

Those 8 hours you spend staring at your computer screen and get 3 sentences that don’t even string together.
