An explanation as to why I've been away: graduate school, teaching, tutoring. Yep, that accounts for 90% of my time. But I'm enjoying it a great deal and in the process, I hope I'm becoming a better writer.

There are a great deal of peer-reviewed academic articles out there that deal with the psychology behind procrastination and to an extent, writer's block.

 I've been editing an author's autobiography for the past several weeks and as much as I've enjoyed seeing this project develop nicely, I'm ready to see it out the door.

I've been using Dr. Wicked's Write or Die software to write a Harlequin romance-type novel (we'll see where on EARTH it will go or if it'll be published at all), but sometimes I feel I get out of touch with my characters ( Read more... )
