Oh, wait, you hate kids and school. Exercising? Ha, ha, ha. Get a job outside the house? Ughhhh.<br />Since the way you are doing "it" isn't working, try another method. Try an outline this time. Try writing a synopsis of a book you haven't written and then write a story around it.<br />Or put it all away for two weeks, catch up on other stuff and then the ideas and dialogue may come flowing out because you are not thinking of them and putting yourself in stress.<br />Says the lady who has to come up with two short poems and an article on a pet for the Newsletter by Tuesday. <br />Hang in there Sweetie, I have faith.<br />Remember, they don't call writers and poets tortured for nothing.Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04417448178851493743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760014651173370020.post-24128747401536194422011-05-07T20:32:19.714-04:002011-05-07T20:32:19.714-04:00Thank you guys!Thank you guys!Heather M.

Kick back, rejuvenate, look for fresh ideas, I usually find interesting characters in local cafes, parks or even a boat ride -and its good to get outside of the house.<br /><br />Hope you have a good weekend!Taleihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07317577935549931974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760014651173370020.post-41769996086092316692011-05-06T21:33:13.553-04:002011-05-06T21:33:13.553-04:00Thanks everyone.

I...**smack, smack** snap out of it!<br />just kidding =)<br />I'm sorry to make light of your whining, but do you really want to be coddled?<br />I think you need a change of scenery - some kind of change to get out of your rut.<br />get away from writing/querying and such. read something, watch a movie, go out and relax with friends or people-watch at the park or the mall - the ideas will come when you aren't pining for them (they're shy!) <br />now go have a nice fret-free weekend!Tara Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587802105993889515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760014651173370020.post-5414112584917819902011-05-06T04:46:30.985-04:002011-05-06T04:46:30.985-04:00Hope it helps to know that we've all felt like...Hope it helps to know that we've all felt like this.
