The Light

Not a good thing for vampires but for aspiring writers struggling through rewrites it is the most exhilarating feeling in the world. I got the green light from my editor and now I begin the process of recreating my original novel. The characters will remain the same and some of the plot as well and this is a good thing. When someone with 30 years of experience agrees that your new ideas are much better than your original ones, go with it. It is validating and so positive. I was floundering as I tried to implement his suggestions. Nothing seemed to be coming and then my juices began flowing and my muse returned and here I am. Thought I would share with whomever reads this that the darkness cannot remain indefinitely. The light will come and when the flow returns, it is nothing short of magic.

On the dark side of something

Still working on my rewrites for my novel and for the moment, I feel my creative spark is gone. I light candles, hold crystals, pray, but nothing comes. Is my muse on holiday? Not sure but I do know that I need to keep writing, go with the flow, keep my faith in myself alive and kicking, because eventually the clouds will part and I will begin writing again while my muse both paces and smiles down at me. It's just the inbetween time.....
