In Limbo

I should be writing but I can’t seem to. Plus, I don’t have a back to my chair and it’s hard to sit here. The back fell off a while ago but I’ve been making do. My back is protesting now. Hmm, perhaps I am not writing because I am not in a good writing “zone”. :snooty:

In addition, I don’t have the momentum to keep going on one of the novellas I should be working on. It’s very traditional romance I think and I’m not sure that works anymore. I could work on adding the “oomph” to my conditionally accepted ms but I seem to have a block as to what that oomph would be. Hopefully my editor will have an idea because at the moment I’m completely blank.

I have another ms that is romantic suspense that I really want to get going on but it isn’t calling me yet. I think that one could be really good, if I handle it properly, and I want it to come to me when its ready. I’m not sure if that makes sense but I know I write better when the words come instead of when I force them. I know that makes sense to most of you writers. I also know many of you are on deadlines so you have to write stuff whether it comes to you or not. How do you handle that? Any ideas?

Lastly, I have a chick lit idea just wandering around in my head. I think it would be something a little different but I’m not sure. It’s not something I’ve read before and I hope it would work. I’m going to let that percolate for a while.

So it’s been a couple of weeks since I really wrote something. I’m itching to get back to it but my muse hasn’t really decided which way to go. She/he (I know some of you have named your muse and everything – I don’t know mine that well yet) isn’t gone just meandering about in my head.
