Writerly Blues

I don’t know about you guys, but writing hasn’t been a real joy for me lately.  It’s really just the usual things: I don’t know what to write about, or how to write it, or when to write it.  Then that awful, but predictable, visitor comes: doubt.  Doubt about the worthwhile-ness of this story, doubt about my ability, doubt about ever actually finishing another story ever again.  So there was only one thing to do.

Punch that jerk of a guest right in the guts.  Or run him through with a sword.  One of those two.  (I do favor the latter.)  At a certain point, I had to decide that it just didn’t matter.  Even if doubt was right, I was going to write.  (Play-on-words intended.)  So I am.  Can’t promise it’s barf-proof, but they’re words and I’m proud of them.  Fortunately, that’s all it takes to be a writer.  You just have to write.  I hope to share some of those words with you soon, once I have barf-proofed them.

Anyway, as long as I have you here, sorry the new site hasn’t been doing much.  The holidays swamped me into forgetfulness, etc., and this new layout has taken some time to figure out.  I’m only just getting a handle on it.  But as soon as may be, new stuff will be added!  And trust me, it’s gonna be epic.  There will be new stuff going on with Dragon’s Heart and some new sneaky-peeky content with Exiles.  So be sure to map (hint, hint) your way back soon!
