In A Funk

I've been in a writing funk lately. Just can't seem to get inspired. Now I know I should just write anyway and bust through it, or maybe try writing on a different project. But so far neither thing is working. Any other suggestions from anyone who's experienced this and worked through it?

In the meantime, FATAL FORTUNE is now available exclusively at Fictionwise, with a new cover designed by my good friend and fellow author Maureen McMahon (www.maureenmcmahon.com). Check it out here: http://www.fictionwise.com/ebooks/eBook36900.htm?r=3a20

Don't know if I've posted about the good news yet...the authors of ENCHANTED HOLIDAYS (of which I am one!) have a publisher lined up for our new anthology entitled, SHIVERS AND SCREAMS, VISIONS AND DREAMS. It's DiskUs Publishing, and we're looking forward to the release of the book this fall. More news here when it becomes available.

Spring has sprung here and beautiful flowers are bursting out everywhere. This spring is a real adventure for us, as we moved into this house last September, so we have no idea what's planted. Each new bud and blossom is a lovely surprise. I don't know what many of the plants are, but they're sure pretty! The previous owners did a terrific job of landscaping.

So, how come I can write a blog entry, but not a book? (sigh, eye-roll) Well, I'll keep trying, and if any of you have any tips, I'd love to hear them!

I pull out my idea file, or an old manuscript that needs work to get myself inspired. Other than that, I start cleaning. When I get to the oven, I usually stop. I know I would rather be writing than cleaning the oven. :^)

Hi Liz! Long time no talk. I see you've moved from Kansas to NH...that must have been fun.

Congrats on the new anthology and your son's wedding. I hope things are going well.

Penelope, I'll have to try that one. Cleaning the oven...yup, I'd rather write.

Colleen, it's great to hear from you! We're loving New Hampshire. Everything's going well, knock on wood. How are you doing? Any books in the works?
