I guess we just have to start trudging through the work and once we get going we'll start climbing up the side of the S! I've been reading a lot this winter too - in fact so much that I had to take a little break from trying to digest too much!Lauri Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714245926405732068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953622313060163187.post-40129441450068992462013-02-13T01:50:33.291-05:002013-02-13T01:50:33.291-05:00I'm riding on different S curves right now.

Plus, I'm able to use different parts of my brain (writing vs. revising). Also, I get opposite social experiences (participating in a critique group vs. typing by myself).

Otherwise, I get bored. I went from riding the top of the S wave into a bit of a stall on the wave. I'm still at the top- ideas brimming and plot mostly outlined (strange because I'm a pantser by nature), but haven't yet started that downward trend into furious writing to make my ideas come alive. What have I been sidetracked by, aside from my kids? Reading. As a writer, it's important to read, right? Where will it get me on the curve? Not sure yet, but anywhere in the direction of forward would be a step in the right direction.Tracy MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03615611919340469444noreply@blogger.com
