Im Back!
For some reason, I’ve had a really hard time getting up the motivation to write, both in this blog and in my book. I think that part of that might be the fact that I’ve been perpetually behind on my school assignments until yesterday and that I haven’t really felt like I know who my character is in my wizard novel. Last night though, I got a strange burst of inspiration – at 3am no less – and began writing in my sci-fi book again. It was amazing!
The feeling that I got when I wrote before (before NaNoWriMo that is) came back to me in a rush and I remembered what it was that I loved about writing. It’s not the uphill fight to get published, or the feeling that I have to do certain things in order to better my writing, it’s the feeling of satisfaction that I get when I write something that I like; that I think other people will like.
So, for all of you out there who might be feeling frustrated because of the publishing race, take heart in the reason that you first started writing… Because you loved it!

I know just what you mean. There’s a great feeling of satisfaction when you get that inspiration and then write it all down. Especially after a dry period of not being able to write anything down. I felt like that for years, but have finally found that inspiration and I’m actually enjoying writing again.
Good luck with your book!
Thanks! Although right now my book is on hold because I’m working on my video game ezine, Wayward Gamer (www.waywardgamer.com). I plan on getting back to it; I’ve even written a bit recently when I got the itch.
