Triumphant Return

If you are not sure that you like to write anymore... if you are a writer... or aspire to be one.

If uncertainty has you frustrated, here's what you do.

Take a break!

When you return you will love writing even more than before. The words will flow from you like an exploding dam. Characters will speak and scream. They'll sprint their way through the twisting plot. Description will come naturally, easily racing alongside.

Writing will make you physically feel better. Exercise, reading a favorite book, watching a movie... nothing will compare to the release and relief you feel after typing for an hour.

On the other hand... You did take a break... and you don't feel it? Well, forget it, buddy. Writing is not for you.

I am setting my MG novel aside for now and working on other things. I am writing whatever spills out of me, with no direction or revision. Just letting it flow for the first time in a while.

And feeling great.
