[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/] I know I’m not the first (or the last) person to say that writing is cheap therapy. It really is. I would say for pen & paper writers especially, because it feels like you are really ripping at the paper sometimes, but typing this up I realize that I’m really pounding on
[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/] I’m just going to take a moment to smile here, because you guys know how I am. Last week (*coughs* let’s just pretend it was only a week ago) I talked about writing fluff, and how important it actually was. And true to form it appears that I will be able to

[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/] So I’ve been working on Chapter 5 of Fie Eoin lately, and while I haven’t hit a writing block per say, I have hit a “meh” block. I assure you, you too can hit a “meh” block – even while working on your favorite chapter! I’ve been re-hashing the same scenes over
[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/2010/08/17/sticky-60/] Hey guys, you remember how I Kicked It Up A Notch the other week? After that insanity I took a little time off to read and ruminate on this new (to me) process of editing. And a few days ago, after finishing the Mortal Instruments series (which I highly recommend and will talk
[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/2010/07/29/kick-it-up-a-notch/] You guys, I’m very excited today. If you’ve been following me on Twitter (see the side bar!) you’ve seen that I finally learned how to edit today. Not just take out a word here or there or make it flow a little better, but I learned how to take a scene and

[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/] I do apologize for not putting up a sticky for the past couple of weeks. I’ve actually been writing Kaye scenes, and when Kaye finally decides to speak you shut up and listen, because normally her sister drowns her out. As it turns out, Kaye’s quite chatty when you get her
[tweetmeme source=”stickynotestory” only_single=false http://rebeccaenzor.wordpress.com/] As I was falling to sleep last night I was thinking about The Hunger Games and Catching Fire – because it seems that’s all I’ve been able to do since I started reading them a week ago. And for a while I was wondering why – why am I so wrapped up

So I know I’ve kind of been missing since last week’s post about Hitting the Wall. But that’s because the next morning I woke up and I had so many ideas to write! I knew what had to be done to Chapter 3 of Fie Eoin (I cut the entire first scene), I wrote 3000
I’ve done it. After a good solid run of organizing, typing, editing, storylining and writing I’ve finally hit the wall as far as most things writing-related go. I’m exhausted mentally. I’ve been trying all week to get the third chapter of Fie Eoin to my writing group, and while I read and cross things out and
