I've Lost My Writing Mojo!

It's happened again.

I've lost my mojo. Writing wise I mean. I go through these patches it seems. One mintue I can't drag myself away from the computer, the next I dread having to sit in front of it.

I'm normally motivated when I glance at my autographed books by my fav authors, or if I attend a seminar or author chat. Which is good because I've got a workshop in two weeks. But then that's not too good because it's two weeks.

SIGH.



Maybe I need to go watch The Notebook for the zillionth time. That normally works as well.

Who said writing romance was easy?

Twilight... Not what i thought

The first time I heard about this story was on Yahoo Answers. Everywhere I looked people were asking where they could get books, what others thought about the story ect.

I, of course, wondered what this hype was about, but it didn't to a point where the suspense was killing me and I HAD to know. Instead, I just ignored what I saw and I lost interest.

Then there was the hype about the movie coming out. I then made an effort to find out it was a romance involving a vampire as the Hero. As soon as I found that out, I knew it wasn't for me. I'm not into vampire romances.

Ohhhhh, I had a lot to learn.

So the movie came out and everyone was practically hysterical. It was absolutely everywhere and still I didn't rush to the movies to see it, nor pick up the book.

Then a week ago a friend gave me a copy of the movie, urging me to watch it. "sure, i'll put it on my list TBW." Two days later, I slipped the disc into my DVD player and watched the credits roll on.



By the end of the movie i'd managed to cry through out most of the movie. More gushy tears, crying in places where all the mains had to do was stare at one and other and I was spilling tears in every direction.

Why had I put off seeing this?

I'd missed out on so much time! And all because i was sure i wasn't into vampires. I'd forgotten in parts that Edward was a vampire!

So i've seen the movie and LOVED it.

I've got the series of books of ebay and eagerly await them to arrive in the post!

I'm now proud to say, I'M ADDICTED TO TWILIGHT!!!

Grammar, Usage and Punctuation... Arrgghhhh!

Where was I school when they were teaching this?

And I prided myself on having such good grades in English. It’s embarrassing the things I’ve found that I don’t really have a clue about.

Get ready for this.

Noun.

What is it? I don’t really know.

How can one who aspires to write, not know this?


I’m mortified to have to admit it. But then it’s the first step to getting help, isn’t it? So on the weekend, off I went to the library to stock up on books to re-teach myself the bits and piece I should already know. Hopefully with a bit of luck, I was listening in the back row of English and I’ve just forgotten.

I think it’ll be a slow, and gradual learning process, hopefully not to slow I do have a WIP I’m on at the moment.



Now, what is a verb…

My Very First Blog...

And it could turn out completely hopeless like the first time i tried this, a year and a half ago, and I'll just delete my account.

Again.

What do you write on a blog? And why would people want to read my ravings?

I guess I'll learn all this and more and hopefully I'll end up feeling not so shy.

And welcome to my blog.
