In the Swing of Things
Weekly Influences: Seiran (the lost Prince from Saiunkoku), my top 25 played in iTunes and decaf Mint Green Tea.
This is not a post about the hotties and unmentionable body parts that swing to and fro. (Though, we can talk about that today if you want. I'm not above objectifying men for my own selfish happy ways.)
No this is a blog about trying to get back into a groove, a writing groove. Some semblance of a routine.
Whoever let me take the month of December off needs a severe ice picking experience.
*silence*
*crickets chirping*
*spot light focuses on me*
Oh. That was my bright idea. Lovely.
*groans* Who knew that getting back to writing with the intensity that burned me in November would be THIS difficult. I'm having a writing hangover. Nothing I write seems to work anymore. Or interests me in the slightest. I'm a fickle creature by nature. Even diamond encrusted ice picks seems to lose my interest after the sparkle has worn off. In three weeks I wrote over 50k. In those seven weeks afterwords, I can't boast more than 2k. If you take the month of December out of that equation (since I granted the time off due to my success in NaNo and December being a holiday month) 2k in three weeks is still a horrible number.
Terrible. Awful. Petrifying. The very thought I can't conceive of another wonderful, awe-inspiring descriptive sentence to save my soul from hell, scares the living hell out of me.
I have plenty of ideas. Have I managed to do any of them justice? Hell no. I consume way too much Manga and Anime. Right now the only thoughts of fiction in my head are fan fiction. Things that won't get me any closer to my goals. So I set my mind out to working on the beginning of Kiki's first story again. It's in my mind. I can see it playing, rolling as if I were the director sitting behind the camera. Yet, the words escape me.
Take a deep breath. Relax. Assume Zen like state. *smacks Chanceroo* No chanting.
I hear bits and pieces of Cin narrating from her story, thinking about her daughter. “History always repeats itself. Time will always tell.” I see this story so vivid behind my eyelids. I hear her voice so strong with determination inside my head. Words fail me on the page.
So how bout it everyone? How does one conjure up the words when word block seizes you? Do you have a favorite happy place you like to go to? A place you like to procrastinate? Do you just keep trucking along regardless if the words fail you? Anyone else having a hard time getting back into the groove of things or is it just me?

When I'm stuck, I write blogs, I write shorts, I go to the movies.
If Anime is filling your head? I'd cut yourself from it right now. It's influencing you too much and sucking your creative energy into it's vortex. Free your brain to wander your paths, not the paths of others!
I have edited other stories when stuck and I have plugged my ipod into music that inspires and written to the beat.
For you? Maybe switch your musical gears if what you're listening to isn't pushing you to write your stuff. Not anime. Not fanfic. Sin's story.
2nd Chance is right. Distract yourself. I use movies with a lot of atmosphere. Sometimes doing something mindless like gardening or washing dishes helps too--though I try to save washing dishes as a last resort. I might be stuck, but I try not to be desperate.
I sympathize, Sin. That's a tough spot to be in, especially after the high from NaNo. Unfortunately it's hard to sustain that kind of output, so you do need to take a break from that pace.
I get itchy if I can't write on my WIP for a few days, which happened last week, because I couldn't figure out this one section I needed. It was an uncomfortable feeling, because it felt like I was wasting valuable writing time, but the scene just wouldn't work. It finally did, but on its own timetable!
I agree with Chance about writing blogs. Or I think about my story and take notes, or analyze the scenes/structure in Excel. I even wrote pitches, and a synopsis or two--anything to keep my mind in the midst of the story.
Another trick is to only allow yourself to write for 15 minutes. Since you and I are both contrarians, you can imagine what happens when you're FORCED to stop. :) (Put your icepicks away first.)
For me, periods of great productivity always seem to be followed by fallow periods.I think they are just a necessary part of my process. During these times, I try several things to find the seeds of new ideas. Eavesdropping often works. A bit of overheard conversation, sometimes just the fragment of a sentence, may leave my fingers itching for a pencil. Music works the same way; a line or a phrase or an image from a lyric can inspire a new idea or offer a new direction for one in process. Less often, reading does the job. I have a key scene that I owe to a Meg Benjamin heroine taking off her shoes. For some strange reason, driving also works. I have some of my best ideas driving down a country road or speeding down the interstate.
I've had such a hard time getting back into the groove, I've now taken up quilting. It's sad really.
And all I can think about today is the oncoming snowstorm and I want to go home and hole up, nestle on my couch, and watch about 30 hours of Twilight. And maybe quilt.
I use the exercise of writing drabbles when I'm stuck with what I'm writing. Usually I'm stuck because I seen a scene in my head and it has nothing to do with the particular part I'm working on. And while right now I'm consuming tons of anime and manga and creatively that's where my mind has gone, really my mind is spinning around my urban fantasy idea. I put my foot down and said I wouldn't work on anything else until Kiki's first book is first draft finished. I don't want to bounce back and forth between unfinished novels simply because creatively that's what my mind wants to do.
Janga, I use driving as an inspiration tool all the time too--which is why winter feels so confining to me. During the summer I'm driving all the time. Now I have to squeeze it in between snowstorms. Sigh.
I agree that you have to go through that fallow time. A lot is going on behind the scenes in our brains even though we don't think it is.
Chanceroo, you know I love music. I've just not found anything lately that inspires me. Saturate's latest CD did for a while and I got burnt out during NaNo. My top 25 played list in iTunes is pretty good, but mostly slow.
Does anyone out there have a good recommendation for someone who listens to more hardcore alternative genres?
*silence*
No?
*crickets*
Damn.
Maria, *LOL*, you crack me up.
I actually stand at the sink with my headphones plugged in and wash dishes (when forced- ie: every dish in the house is dirty and we're out of paper plates, paper towels, plastic utensils, etc.)
Janga, I love to drive and I seem to have the best ideas while I'm stuck in traffic. It doesn't help that my heroine, Kiki, has a bit of a road rage tantrum every time we're at a light. But it's good for creativity.
I love to people watch, and eavesdrop on conversations (I'm a bit of a wallflower) and I love to make up stories about people I see. None of that ever seems to fit into what I'm writing. Sometimes what I hear will jar my memory on something I'd planned to write but forgot; but usually, I'm stuck with more ideas mulling around inside my head.
Hells, I know. I'm anticipating a snow day tomorrow. I can't wait. I'm like a little kid sitting at my desk watching the radar and looking out the window. Though, if you looked out the window right now you'd never believe we're supposed to get 7-8" of snow.
I'm the queen of procastinating writing so I'm totally not qualified to answer this question.
I do think that Chance has the right idea about still doing things that center around the story - keeping it fresh in your mind - but not putting the pressure on yourself to write THE story.
Dear DRD,
I would put the ice pick away just for you; but the Undead Monkey told me that you wait until I've closed one eye at night and try to dispose of them over the side of the ship.
I feel a new story line coming on. One that includes my favorite twin and a new ice pick that needs to be broken in.
Sincerely,
Evil Twin
PS. Did you ever get the Christmas card the Undead Monkey and I sent?
Scapey, me and you are in the same boat. I'm the Queen of Procrastination land. If I can procrastinate it, you can be sure I will.
Two weeks ago I was in love with my story. Reading through it made me excited and proud. Last night, floating on a cloud of PMS, it read amateurish and stilted. Horrible stuff.
What's this have to do with anything? Hormones. Maybe your hormones are out of whack?
I'd suggest the first thing to do is lower your expectations. Hell, get rid of them altogether. The only thing I've found that gets the words flying out my fingertips is to enjoy what I'm doing. When I stopped beating myself up, worrying about the "what ifs" (as in "What if it sucks?!"), and essentially took the pressure off, the words came.
Discipline is good. Having a plan is good. Focus is good. But you have to find the fun too. Otherwise, it's just one more pressure your brain will push back against.
It's like that for me anyway.
Ter, I tend to write more when I feel like I don't have anything hanging over me. I dunno. Maybe I'm forcing myself to go back to writing on Kiki's story because I told myself no more unfinished manuscripts before I go to a new one.
Expectations of yourself are the devil.
Oh, I know that feeling too. That's why I never got anything accomplish while I was still working on the degree. And there are nights I have to fold that last load of clothes or load the dishwasher before I can relax into the revisions. Tonight, I must vacuum!
Seriously, how do you stop leaves from coming in with your shoes? Maybe I'll get a bigger outdoor rug on the way home.
Dear Evil Twin,
"Your favorite twin"? Just how many twins do you have? No, please do not answer that. I've always suspected I've been cloned, based on the number of people who think they know me. I'm not sure I want that suspicion confirmed.
I treasure the card that you and the Undead Monkey sent. I wept with joy when I read it, and I carry it with me everywhere, even putting it under my pillow at night to stave off nightmares. (I've been having the oddest dreams tho.)
Very truly yours,
DRD
Terri, I agree about the emotions getting in the way of how we view our work. When I was doing NaNo it seemed like the writing was pure crap, but I kept going so I could get the first draft done. Then a month later when I read it over, I was surprised at how uncrappy it was. LOL I definitely could see where I'd had better days and what needed improving, but we're not always the best judges of our material.
PS. We just drag the leaves in and let the gatos eat them. Makes them feel like they are a part of the wild.
Ugh, I hate the vacuum.
My gatos are spoiled. And completely domesticated. They turn their noses up at the leaves. *sigh* But give them a good piece of cardboard and it's chomp city. WTF?
Dear DRD,
Tis true that I have had you cloned. I did this in case we were to have a fight and I were to lose you.
I only did it out of love. And maybe a little out of spite. One never knows with me.
I hear the sarcasm in your voice over the wondrous Christmas card we snitched for you. I want you to know that I labored for an hour over the plan to steal that one Christmas card for you to enjoy. But don't worry about the weird dreams. The Undead Monkey said that side effect would wear off eventually.
Sincerely,
Evil Twin
Donna - We need more of those "This isn't crappy at all!" days and less of the "WTF kind of cluster is this shit?" days. LOL!
Our gatos love cardboard too. I think it's the call of the wild and pretending it's a good tree.
But give them a good piece of cardboard and it’s chomp city. WTF?
It's called Fiber, Terr. You should try some.
Terri, I definitely agree the calendar should be reorganized so we have more "I am so freakin' awesome" days on it. :)
Dear Evil Twin,
Thank you for letting me know about the cloning. Any idea of how many copies you made? Nothing precise, just a ballpark number will do. Oh, and if I could exchange myself with a younger, thinner version, I would be eternally grateful. (Don't be a brat and make her stupid though.)
I fear you completely misread my note if you detected any level of sarcasm regarding your card. I was so astounded by the generosity (and, let's be honest, the lack of any visible booby traps), that I completely forgot to thank you previously.
Hugs and kisses,
DRD
My body wouldn't know what to do with fiber.
When I'm stuck, I go to the cemetery. Is that weird? There's a cemetery that backs up to our house so I'll take the dog and wander around and sit on the edge of the river and think. I think the combo of the change of scenery and the quiet, pretty atmosphere and the exercise often shakes something loose.
My thesis adviser at school gave me this suggestion: "When you don't know what to write next, write the worst possible thing you can think of and just keep writing utter drivel. Eventually, your muse will get so annoyed with you she'll tell you what you should *actually* be writing."
I was working on my own blog post for this week and came across this bit from an interview with Alice Hoffman that seemed relevant to today'd discussion:
Do you ever get writer's block? If so, what do you do to overcome it?
I didn't believe in writer's block until I had it--twice in terrible periods of my life. Both times the only way out for me was to start writing, and through the process of writing, something appeared. I decided I would write five pages a day and not look at them for three weeks. Part of having writer's block is feeling it's worthless or you're worthless and you can't do it right. [You have to tell] yourself, "I'm just going to write, and I'm not going to look at it. I'm not going to judge it." By the time you look at it, there may be something inside of it you can use.
Hal - I grew up around the bend from a cemetary and I used to spend a lot of time there. They're quite peaceful, aren't they?
And what if you don't have a muse? :)
that's an awesome quote, Janga!
Yeah, I don't know if I have a muse either, but I have found that forcing myself to write drivel just for the sake of writing drivel either a) shakes something loose and the drivel improves, or b) I look back at it later and realize it was never drivel at all.
Well, I'm definitely inspired. I'm going to go do some writing. I might check back in on you pirates later though.
*points to eyes then points to Sin*
Yeah, I mean you. LOL
Was visiting another writing blog today and ran across this post about coming out of the holiday funk and back into reality. Thought it might be helpful to share:
http://jeannieruesch.com/wordpress/?p=4042
A place you like to procrastinate?
Here!
If Anime is filling your head? I’d cut yourself from it right now.
Absolutely! Take a break from the media nfluences that are filling up your head. Get some exercise. Take a break from your normal routine. People watch. Go outside. And yes I its cold out there. But the briskness of the weather will clear your head.
I think I need to take the "just start writing drivel" advice. I think I'm at that point. Just start writing, seriously. Writing is better than sitting around thinking of writing. Or worse, sitting around thinking how I'm NOT writing. Ugh.
My problem is more of a not enough hours to sleep and still write thing.
Stop whining, Marn. If I've got the energy to whine, surely I can work up the energy to write at least a little.
Driving does seem to shake things lose. I think because we can't focus on words, so our mind plays with us.
I'm gonna be out of the loop most of the day. Car being serviced, driving to me mums... But I did find my magazine! Two copies. one fer me and one fer mum! Whoohoo!
Sin, on Dec they are doing a Monday music thing. Check out the list that was posted on Monday, seems there was some hard stuff there. At http://decadentpublishing.blogspot.com/ and just move down to Monday's blog.
Oh, I love that Chevelle song!
If I’ve got the energy to whine, surely I can work up the energy to write at least a little.
Um, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it takes WAY more energy to write than whine. *g* I always have the energy to whine!
I admit, didn't recognize one of her songs! But what else is new? ;-)
"Wonder What's Next" was Chevelle's best CD. IMHO. I loved it all. Forfeit and Grab Thy Hand are still in my playlist. "The Red" was playing in my car when I drove up to the office this morning.
"I send the pain below. I send the pain below..."
I know all those artist. I'm not a fan of The Verve or Muse; but respectful picks. I can dig her groove.
Damn, I've been away from the blog so long I don't even know what's going on anymore in the comments. LOL
Jules, you never procrastinate. Your mind is always working on new and devious plots of world domination.
Lots of whining. Pretty much a normal day. LOL!
Scapey, I bookmarked that blog so that I can go there tomorrow on my snow day and read it without interruption. Right now, it's chaos as we try to get the office ready to close.
I like the "keep writing and don't look at it for 3 weeks" idea. Once I look back I'm dead meat - then the little critic in my head jumps in and takes over.
I think everyone has their own special mind games they play to help them do what needs to be done. I wish I was one of those people that just had to write or die! Unfortunately, it's not that dramatic for me. I write for fun and cause I don't have to. Once I have to it no longer becomes fun and I rebel (it's that nasty gene sneaking up on me again! LOL)
I haven't written in ages, I have to kind of talk myself into the fact that what I'm writing is no big deal. I used to write all the time - just kind of playing around with ideas and having fun. Once I called myself a writer and told myself I had to sit down and write it was all over. I'm back to it being no big deal again and the ideas and scenes just keep coming.
Sin, I sent you another letter. But I need to add a P.S. to it.
I am sick of snow. I am sick of it snowing every other day this week. I'm ready to wear my flip flops again!
/rant over
Jules, you never procrastinate. Your mind is always working on new and devious plots of world domination.
My plan is almost complete. All I need are some stiletto heels and a latex bodysuit.
*blink*
Oooh? You might get the other type of domination, didn't you. I'll don't think that that One pays as well! LOL
Make THAT "You meant the other type of domination, didn’t you."
Naughty, NAUGHTY headset trying to put wicked ideas in my head!
Personally? I suspect that headsets to trying to take over the world.
Irish - I had the same problem. Writing became a "have to" and I didn't want to do it. But then something else shifted for me. Getting pubbed became a "WANT TO!!!" and then the writing got to be fun and served a purpose besides being a time suck or a guilt trip. LOL!
My blog! Next Friday...all about the who you write for! (since my friday has been stolen for an author interview...)
Pirate!
I love the idea of purpose to writing...gets into the whole fiction is nothing more than escape and we should all stick to reality...
HA!
Hey! I *asked* to take your Friday. That counts!
*whispers* Meg Benjamin agreed to do an interview. It's going to be so much fun!
At least I didn't cut off your best shirt.
Yeah, asked at the point of a sword!
*go with it, sounds much more piratey!
Yeah, well that would be all lesbiany... Lets stick with piratey!
Off to get the car!
You had to go there?
I'm going to go take a shower. ALONE!
Okay, you and Chancey gave me two things to really ponder for the rest of my day - do I "want to" badly enough and "who am I writing for?"
Of course, you know, all this will be irrelevant once I get back from the library with the new SEP that was released yesterday. Then we go through another few months of "WTH am I thinking! I can never compete with that!"
Very cool about Meg Benjamin, though.
It was my FAVORITE shirt, not my best shirt. There's a difference. I'm like the guy who wears his college t until there are a thousand holes in it. It's my FAVORITE shirt and I'll wear it in public, but it's not my "best" shirt, which isn't as comfy and I don't like as well.
AN!! AN adjective. Gah!
Really? We're going to quibble over and adjective?
I need to find out if my library is lending eBooks yet. Though I have something very special to read while I wait for Eloisa's new one to come out next week. :)
Terri, you're too funny. Here I am trying not to ralph all over my WIP. LOL
Hellie, it sounds to me like that shirt was not much of a challenge for your swordsman. :) If it had a thousand holes already.
*jumping up and down in happy dance*
THEY DO!!! My library does loan eBooks. I'm so excited!!! LOL!
Daniel Boone is supposed to get e-book lending this year. Can't wait. And for the software update with Kindle so that I can borrow them too.
Dear DRD,
You make it way too easy to tease you. I feel like channeling Ivy a bit to play with you DRD.
Chanceroo will know who I'm talking about.
Sincerely,
Evil Twin
Daniel Boone is supposed to get e-book lending this year. Can’t wait.
It'll sure make things fun around the campfire when he's done exploring for the day. :)
ROTFLMAO! I thought the same thing Donna! :)
Probably a lot easier to download than have to truck through the wilderness just for his favorite Jane Austen!
Exactly, Irish! LOL Hey, maybe that's why he was doing all that exploring--trying to find the latest new releases!
*LOL*
I had library on there but I think my keyboard 86'd it.
That hottie over there is Daniel Boone? Gee ... so thats a coonskin hat on his head? I thought it was some guy that having a really bad hair day.
I'm picturing a library with a giant coon-skin cap for a roof.
Dude, I just watched the movie trailer for THOR, and I think that looks good. I don't even like those kinds of movies.
I had library on there but I think my keyboard 86′d it.
Its the Koreans man!
Damned headset has a long reach.
Thats because they're United1 LOL
Totally off-topic, sorry Sin! I just had to squeee... OMG! OMG! OMG! I was just on Elizabeth Hoyt's website and found out her next book due out November 11th, Scandalous Desires features Mickey and Silence as the H/H!
Hellion, did you know that?!!!
I saw her talking on Twitter about that. Irish, did you miss the pictures she posted from the photo shoot for the cover? You should go check them out, I think some are on Facebook.
Just checked that out, Ter. Looks good. i'm gonna have to cave and get a Facebook one of these days!
Have you read Wicked Intentions?
I have Hoyt's books and have never read one. I KNOW! I'm a terrible person...
Not terrible, I'm sure, just busy! LOL
Start with Wicked Intentions and we can have a great discussion on world building and secondary characters! LOL
Since I haven't been able to get a Meg Benjamin to preview before buying her whole backlist (I usually go the library for the first book of a new to me author), I went to her site and read the excerpt for Venus in Blue Jeans. I'm hooked!
Yay! They're all great, Irish. I promise. And now that I can probably get WI on my reader from the library, I promise to get to it soon.
Daniel Boone is supposed to get e-book lending this year.
Already here. They were talking about it on the news Monday night.
Hellie, it sounds to me like that shirt was not much of a challenge for your swordsman. :) If it had a thousand holes already.
I don't like to make things TOO challenging. I'm here for the sex after all, not to give him the same sense of satisfaction when he deerhunts.
I just was at my Sony store... Yes, I have a Sony store and the Sony girl fixed me all up. Actually, all the problems I have been having didn't manifest for her. Damn book. Knock on wood her magical touch will see the thing behave from now on!
Wonder if my library lends e-books?
Sony girl even gave me her business card and said to let her know if I continue to have problems.
And no, she wasn't flirting!
Has someone written Daniel Boone verses the Zombie Indians yet? It just seems like it should be written... ;-)
Silence and MICKEY!? YESSSSSS! I was so pulling for those two! That's AWESOME!!! I don't want to wish my year away, but this is going to be a bitchin' November!!!!
Has someone written Daniel Boone verses the Zombie Indians yet?
No. It'd be politically incorrect to make Indians zombies. *LOL* Now if we could make the French hunters zombies--that'd be fine. I could go with that.
Oooh, Wicked Intentions can be our first Sunday Book Club Chat!!
*gimlet stare at Terri* No, she's terrible. I've told her repeatedly how awesome these books are but she ignores me--I think she's still holding a grudge against Ms. Hoyt.
Daniel Boone vs the Zombie French... Sure! I could go with that!
What was wrong with your Sony, Chance? I hope it doesn't do it again, whatever it was.
I haven't read any E. Hoyt books either. Looks like from all the squeeing that I better add those to the TBR pile. LOL
I seem to have problems with my computer recognizing it. Terri never has this problem, so don't blame Sony...probably me or my computer! Sigh.
Well, that's annoying. Is it because you have a new computer? (Look at me trying to be tech support.)
Nope, happened sometimes with the old one! I may need to update all the software on my book... Something I'll look into when I get home. Meanwhile! I finally got a few new books on the sucker! Weeeee!
Oooh, Wicked Intentions can be our first Sunday Book Club Chat!!
I second that! I'll do a quick re-read to get me ready for Notorious Pleasures releasing next week!
Just got back from the library with my SEP! YAY!!!! Now if I can just get rid of the family for about 24 hours I'd be set. Also took the DD out driving around the neighborhood before dropping her off at Driver's Ed. Almost screamed about her taking out a mailbox but didn't. I'm thinking this whole learning to drive thing isn't going to be good for my nerves!
the French hunters zombies–that’d be fine. I could go with that.
Why can't the Puritants be zombies? Or better yet ... Quakers!
Wait, think we could get her on here as a guest for this new release?
Okay, I promise to read this Hoyt. In fact, I know I have it in print. Ms. Hoyt is the one who was wonderful enough to give away a $100 Borders card on Facebook and I won! So, of course, I bought her books with the card.
See, I'm getting closer.
And zombie buffalo ... aaand cows ... with three heads!
*shiver*
Yes. I'm milking this for all I can get. *w*
Wait, think we could get her on here as a guest for this new release?
Maybe? If we lock up the zombies ... hmm ....
I vote for Zombie Prairie Dogs.
Well that Punxatawnie Pete is probably a zombie. Look at how he keeps showing up year after year but he never seems to DIE. LOL
I like it, terri! Its kind of got a nice sound to it too. Makes me wanna singgg ♪♫♬♪♫Youuu ain't *¨*•.¸¸nothin❤¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪butta Zombie Prairie Dog a dying all the time¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪
Yah. I'll do Anything to avoid laundry.
I don't know what is More frightening. The fact that donna knows that Punxatawnie Pete is a zombie.
Or
the fact that donna knows how to spell Punxatawnie!
Sorry Donna. thats Donna with a big D. I blame ... the zombies.
LOL, Julie. I wasn't sure I spelled it right. I just decided to wing it.
I think I've asked her before and she's declined due to her writing schedule (like Monica McCarty), but you're welcome to ask. You may have better luck.
That's Punxsatawney Phil, not Pete. :)
Grew up close to there. I've heard about that damn groundhog my whole life. LOL!
Man, hit the road for a little while and suddenly you're turning prairie dogs into zombies. Isn't Phil a groundhog? Not a prairie dog?
