Scratching Pages

The writing has been difficult these weeks. Words? I have them. They are on the page. I always have words. I’ve been scratching pages. Which isn’t like me. But that’s because I know. They just aren’t the right ones.

This coming event season when a reader asks for my newest novel, I want to hand them something that is going to make them gasp, revolt, smile, laugh, cringe, drop a tear…need to stay up for just one more chapter. But that takes more than words. It takes heart.

It’s Just Practice

I usually don’t throw out a story and start it from scratch again. But when you know it isn’t THE story you’re going to write, well…then it’s literally back to chapter one.

But just remember – nothing is ever a loss. It’s just practice.
