That seems to be my theme, too, and it is such a relief to admit it. These past few months I have not been in the mood to blog. Or update my status on FB. Not in the mood to work on my WIP. Not in the mood to do any of the routine things that comprise life. I force myself to do these things anyway and wonder--will my novel be horrible because I didn't want to write it? This morning, as I forced myself again to the page I thought, maybe this is why the agent yesterday said she was not as engaged with my story as she'd hoped she would be. Maybe I'm just not a good enough writer to engage anyone, and maybe it's because I am not fully engaged myself. But then I came here, and I looked at what you made, all the while admitting you were not in the mood, and I thought, wow, that's so cool. And it gives me hope for my own work. So thanks.
