I'm in the middle of my 4th book, and writing it has become somewhat more difficult than when I wrote the Offset Series. Why? I'm not really sure.
On one hand, it is heavily religious based (no not like that) and I spent a lot of time creating a character to fit into this base; but now I have to make sure each and every utterance and movement matches what this made up character may do or say. This is totally opposite to what my main character did in the Offset Series.
But on the other hand, I'm having difficulty getting myself focused to write. I know what I want to write, and where (approximately) I want it to go, but just sitting down and getting these words written is more difficult than teaching peanut butter to read.
Yes, that is a strange phrase, but that's the thing about writing, strange things come up.
Ok, so the third problem is what you may all recognize as the imposter's syndrome. Feeling totally that I don't belong here writing as I do.
Jeez, even getting this down has been a chore. Too bad it didn't give me any impetus to do something.
Later friends.
