Writer's Block

Right now I'm sitting at my desk, cup of coffee in hand, and a blank page in front of me. You see, I write my first draft long hand. Can't compose on a machine. I started this story a few weeks ago and only have three chapters written. Even though I know where I'm going, at least for now, my mind is in a blur.

I just learned yesterday that the neighbors next door with the three barking dogs have moved out. An answer to a three year long prayer. I guess God is busy. But, that certainly takes a burden off my mind.
So, shouldn't I be thrilled and full of momentum? Of course I should.

I just finished making a poster for the book launch of my third Emma Winberry Mystery, The Elusive Relation. This won't take place until October, but, I like to do things when the spirit moves my. Since the story takes place in London and environs, I have some neat pictures and history about the area. I'm getting excited about this.

I just realized what my problem is. We are still in the dog days of summer when my brain tends to shut down. As soon as the crisp fall weather hits me in the face, I become alive. Soon. For now, I'll have another cup of coffee and write a few more words.

  1. How do you make a professional looking poster?
    Congrats on losing the neighbor.
