Thanks, Kristen. Excellent motivational post. I had your book recommended to me today by a new commenter on my blog. I’m really going to have to get it this time.

I have used Flash Fiction, 5-Minute Fiction, and HumpDayChallenge to give myself a chance to write something short and take a break from my WIP when I hit a wall. I really think blogging has helped me a lot to buckle down and make writing a regular, scheduled process.

Moreover, I have long believed that too many amateur authors think everything they write is or should be wonderful. You have to be willing to toss out the dirty bathwater and keep the baby. Somewhere in all that writing is a gem, but it must be mined out from the rock.

I’m behind after my travels into the middle of nowhere but wanted to say good post. Many people need the guidebook on how to reset. It’s okay to not be where you expected. Just keep pushing ahead. That’s what separates the successful from the rest.

Love “spring-fresh pristine awesomeness”! Boy, do I know all about word-poop. So glad to hear encouraging words about it though. I struggle hard with resistance. I keep trying to show up to the page whether or not my muse is with me. Then I start to wonder why. Thanks for reminding me why.

[...] I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been going through a writing funk. Here I have summer stretched out before me with loads of free time, and I can’t bring myself to start my next manuscript. I tried, and what I got was word poop, to quote Kristen Lamb’s recent post on Struggling with Burnout. [...]
