Sometimes I have tried writing despite not wanting to... it doesn't always work for me. I need inspiration too. I probably should work at some of the creativity exercises to get myself going again.

I do the same thing - I tell myself to just write that scene, just spend twenty minutes on fixing those pages, etc - and it pretty much always turns into longer, turns me into a better and happier writer. :)Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101126112369382176.post-83542749439654649002016-09-07T04:10:50.452-07:002016-09-07T04:10:50.452-07:00Yes, just picking up the manuscript and reviewing ...Yes, just picking up the manuscript and reviewing a paragraph can get you right back in it.
