Writer's Traffic
::sighs:: I've had it before, and it's been a lot worse, but it seems that I have what I like to call "Writer's Traffic" again.
This is not the same as Writer's Block, as that implies that I can't figure out what to write. Writer's Traffic is more like, I know what needs to happen next, there just seems to be something in the way, making me get there slowly. I've been suffering a very mild case, writing a conversation between two of my favorite characters, but just not feeling all that happy with it. That was Friday. I re-read it today (Sunday) and it's not as bad as I thought, so I think I can continue now.
'Cept I've been so freakin' tired today. Blah. Maybe I can get something in before I sleep tonight. I still want to write the end of this book before the year's end.
Note that I say, "write the end of the book" not "finish". In looking back, and upon approaching the end, there seem to be quite a few things that I need to go back and add in. But no biggie. I can handle that. Right now, I just want to write these scenes that have been in my head for years, and I want them to come out right.
Pressure.
