Ok, so I know that I just barely started my writers blog, and stated I'd be keeping up on it. I know it's been a bit, here is why....
A couple months ago I was in a car accident, yeah I know it sucks. My left wrist kind of got injured in the accident. My body still won't stabilize, and so I have to be really careful at what I do. Well I haven't totally been careful with everything. I carried too much weight one day and I strained my left four arm. So, basically I got it checked out and I'm not allowed to work on my novel right now.
The days that I have worked on my novel I have typed around 1,500 words. That's kind of a lot, for someone who hasn't had a job working on the computer for a couple years. The Doc told me that I shouldn't type a lot until it completely heals up. Well I wondered how long that would be... A couple days after that appointment, I didn't have any pain. I typed... then... I HURT again lol.
It's definitely a bummer not to be able to work on my novel. I've tried to at least think about and work on parts of it each day. However, it's a strain for me. I feel like I'm just going back to how I was, not in the writers mind-frame. Some of the best advice I've gotten from favorite authors, is to get really into that mind-frame by writing each and everyday. To make daily word count goals, etc. And I can't do them right now! It's killing me! I feel like I'm in the middle of a writers block, one that I can't get out of! It has definitely taken a toll on me, causing me to question what to write next, and if it's going to be good enough... I guess there is just one way to find out: As soon as I can GET TYPING AGAIN! :)
To help me cope, I turn to the reason why I want to be an author, I LOVE READING!!! I'M A MAJOR BOOKWORM!
Currently I'm being a beta reader for an amazing author and I'm completely loving the story-line, and the creativity of this particular novel! I'll just concentrate on getting better, and while I do, I'll read! I'll have to try to be better at, at least typing a little on here. Please forgive lol.
I'll write again soon, until then.... Peace Out!
