I haven't written anything new in ages. Oh, don't get me wrong, I've been revising like crazy. In fact, I'm revising three different things right now but I haven't written anything new. No new characters or conflicts. No new plots or brainstorming. For a while, I wasn't even blogging.
For me, this "no creating" is not a good thing. I need to be writing new stories on a regular basis. And honestly, I love writing short stories. The benefit of writing new stories, besides feeling better, means I'll have new things to send out and hopefully have published.
So, today I pledge to brainstorm a new story. I pledge to get at least an outline on the page. (Today is payday so I have to run errands this afternoon so won't have all day here at puter.)
What about you? How are you feeling about your writing? Written anything new lately?

I know what you mean! For me, I have felt stalled (not so much stale, yet) about my writing. I have been pulled to a new story that I am still sort of "giving birth too" and still have holes to fill about. And then also pulled to older projects I would love to breathe new life too. But like you, I have a few (new) short stories I would like to work on...so I am torn and I am feeling like I'm on pause as a result. I hate that!

Sorry you're feeling blah. I'm not feeling that way about my writing. I'm feeling that way about everything. :) Too much to do and very overwhelmed. Time to reprioritize.
Good luck in getting out of your funk.
Cheryl
