7am and I just wrote another full chapter of Engraved! maybe I HAVE gotten my mojo back. that would be nice :p Here's to hoping I don't rewrite the chapter 15 times lol. It would also be nice if I could get the creative juices to allow me to at least get the half finished chapter of Dragon Reincarnated done...

@KitCorbeau I think you need to be excited by getting to the next big point in order to get through that. I will just flap here patiently...

@Iarmas I'm still on the fence about dropping chapter one :p I'd really like to get the next dragon Reincarnated chapter out, but I think my issues with that are a little separate to my general writer's block. I am at the point in the book between a couple major points... And I've always had 'filler' chapter issues lol

So, I just rewrote the first chapter of Engraved again. For like the 9th or 10th time lol. I was originally going to start publishing the book after I got at least 5 chapters done, but I might just post this first chapter right away. maybe if I post it I will stop rethinking it and rewriting it lol

KitCorbeau

@KitCorbeau I think I will post it. I'm just worried that people might expect my previous chapter frequency, but I am still not entirely sure that I got my grove back yet :p

Guys... I just wrote 900 words in the next chapter of Dragon Reincarnate! O.o I haven't done anything significant towards my WIP in like 5 months, so I am pretty happy! I even ignored my first coffee of the day after reading a comment by @ApollosRage this morning. Lol this is why I say I am a sucker for the comments: they tend to get me motivated XD 
          
          Not sure when I will finish the chapter, but I am excited to see that I have gotten at least a little of my motivation back. Thanks to everyone who has been encouraging me the last couple months while I was mired in the writing swamp of no motivation hahaha. 
          
          Now I really need to finish making that coffee... It may have gone cold O-O

@ashlow79 :) Still haven't finished it, but I think its a good sign that I at least got half a chapter done :) I've also been writing out a lot of notes for Engraved, even though I still haven't gotten started on that second chapter. Still, at least my fingers are back to typing, even if i haven't gotten anything actually out yet :p

the universe hates me and my will to write. I just fell on the ice on my way to work. Got a big rip on my hand and a massive bruise on my leg :( Hopefully nothing worse. but now its hard to type. If this Tylenol kicks in I'm gonna try and write but I can't say Ill be able to do much given the state of my palm and the fact I cant rest my hand down while typing. My arm already hurts holding it up to type this lol.

@Cookies1475 No need to apologise, it was funny to read.

I'm not sure- no promises!- but think I might be able to shake off this lack of motivation and get back into writing again! I hope at least lol. I mean, admittedly- before I ever started writing here for others to read- my breaks between writing have stretched on longer than this. I would typically go thought a cycle of: a few months reading non-stop, then writing for a couple months, and then gaming before starting all over again. So having the last 3 year stretch of writing about 1k words a day, nearly every day, was already the longest I wever went in writing non-stop :p So I guess that it really shouldn't have come as a surpise that my brain shut off of writing for a while... But it really was a surprise lol.
          
          Still, I think I might be able to shake it off soon. I've started putting the books down more fequently, so my reading has slowed. And I've started thinking about my stories more often as well. I think both are good signs that I should be getting back into writing. Finally! Its been what? 5 months? Ugh.
          
          I don't think I'll be able to imidiatly hop back into my current ongoing works, but rather I think I'll start up a new book in the hopes that it will reignite my motivation. With any luck I will them be able to get back into the others again. I especially want to continue on with Broken, and was really hoping to get started on the next instalment of Enna. (but for Enna I will first have to go through the last three books to refresh my memory on names and the like hahaha)

@Carl1936 Physically... lmao. This span of 'writer's block'- if you will- is driving me bonkers :p Though, if I think back on my life, it hasn't been my longest stretch XD. This time I think that my reading addiction snuck up on me :p I have hopes that I will be back into writing soon. My guess is that it will be a new story to try and get me refocused, before diving back into my works in progress :)
            
            Thank you for checking on me <3
            
            Also, sorry for the ramble. I saw your message before my morning coffee, and I tend to ramble before I'm caffeinated hahahaha

Please follow up & instantly follow back.  Don't forget to check out the story. It's really interesting. One of the best stories I ever read. www.wattpad.com/user/Kellyexx04

@mitchell04 I usually only follow fellow writers back. That or people I see reading/commenting a lot on my works. Otherwise my stuff gets cluttered and I end up getting inundated with random ads and promotions for people to turn my books into comics and the like :)

How is it that I can't find it in me to write a chapter ANY of my books... yet I somehow write 5k words worth of plot points for a whole new book? If only I could get the motivation to get new chapters out at the same time :( Now I have notes on a 'reincarnated as a hero/villain 30 times and now I'm a magical farmer' book that I may never get around to writing... which is a shame cause there is a delightfully grumpy and ugly orange cat named Mortimer that is just BEGGING to be written lmao

Cookies1475

@KitCorbeau  Oh that's horrible. I'm so sorry that happened. Sometimes when I'm in bed and I have an idea, I just fish around for my phone and voice record whatever I'm thinking. Makes for some interesting things to listen to in the morning lmao. . . but if you find it hard to write, maybe you could try that?
            
            Hope you heal up soon!

@jpsuchecki Book is easy cause you just get lost in a story and before you know it, its been 16 hours, your kids want dinner, and you've forgotten to go get groceries. But with games the story is broken up by game play lmao. If I get stuck looking for a person/place/thing for longer than 15 mins then I have exited story mode and start to drift away. I can put games down easily, but books not so much XD
