I’ve been going back and forth on the writer’s block thing. I thought I was over it, then I wasn’t, and I think last I posted I claimed to be over it…I dunno. I’m starting to think it’s a thing that’s going to be bothering me a while longer, if not forever (dun dun DUN.)
But here’s the thing. It can beat me up. It can make writing really really hard like pushing a boulder up a hill hard. But it can’t make me stop.
I’m a writer. I have, at times, written words, and that makes me a writer. So there.
Recently, I wrote a story called Dream of Lions. It’s in the new anthology Turtleduck Press just put out, Love Shines Through. Set in the world of City of Hope and Ruin (have you read it yet? You need to read it!) the anthology has my story plus one each from the awe-inspiring Kit Campbell, the ever-marvelous Siri Paulson, and the lady of wonder Erin Zarro.
You should mebbe check it out. 😉
In other news, I’m really trying to get all my carp together and maybe swimming in the same direction* so I can keep them together and then come back to my blog more regularly. I miss it! The days are just so full of other, less fun things.
Tonight, though, I made dinner. Which is something I’ve been working on doing more regularly. AND SUCCEEDING AT. And then I made overnight oatmeal for breakfast tomorrow and Wednesday. And THEN I made a couple mason jar salads, for lunch the next few days. I made GASP healthy meals!**
Is this a sign I’m somewhat getting my carp together? Stay tuned!
*I’m a Pisces, so this is one of those things I keep hoping for that is actually pretty damned unlikely, sigh.
**dinner tonight featured an entire block of cream cheese. I’m not worried I’ll go too hard in the healthy direction. (One-Pan Crack Bean Burritos. So SO easy and fast, and so good! Though I used half the taco seasoning called for. And added frozen corn.)
