Clearing out those writerly sinuses

[jongibbs]

Lately, I haven’t been able to get excited about doing revision work on Waking up Jack Thunder or the rewrite of A Union of Snakes.

This surprised me, because I rarely find myself uninspired.

I decided the best thing I could do to unblock my writerly sinuses was to write something completely new, and that’s when I realized I haven’t started any new

That's a great first line!

For me, researching a story is usually enough to get the juices flowing.

Thanks, Mark :)

I know some people don't like researching a story, but I'm with you. it's fun, and helps spark new ideas.

I find reading other folks journals motivating too.

That makes perfect sense. Even the treadmill has the same effect on me.

Thanks for sharing :)
