Today’s (totally) optional prompt: Groove? In it or out of it?
I feel totally out of the groove – mostly. At least when it comes to my writing. My true passion is fiction and I have two projects I hope to self publish soon, but I don’t work on them consistently.
My blogging groove is “eh”. I started working with some book tour sites and got a little excited signing up for tours at first and my my editorial calendar is full of book tours only, so bear with me for the next few weeks. I did start a different site for my book reviews, but it’s hard enough to maintain this site, so I am not sure if I am going to keep that site up. Add to that a writers site for me eventually, and it’s too much.
Since fiction takes a little longer to write, I wanted to get my writing groove back and pitch some online publications like Parents.com with some ideas I have for articles. But have I? No.
This is all mostly my own fault. Sometimes I think things should come to me easily and I don’t like hard work (who does, right?). So while I whine, I know it’s on me. I have to put in the hard work if I want to see the results.
I think if I come up with a plan or schedule and some goals, maybe my writing groove will come back. I sort of have a writing buddy – Chaunie at Tiny Blue Lines. We check in almost every day to see what writing we plan on doing. We also wallow over a virtual glass of whine when we are frustrated. It’s nice to have someone that gets it.
