I took a break from writing Unchained by a Forbidden Love<\/strong> to treat myself to a little Staycation back in September, but now I’m back at it and I’m making progress on Fuery and Shaia’s book in the Eternal Mates series<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Progress is slower than I would like, and I’ve been struggling a little. Sometimes, it’s hard for an author to constantly pump out words. I like to think of my creativity as a sort of tank. When it’s full, I have the fuel to go wild and go fast, and words flow effortlessly onto the page. When it’s empty, I find myself fighting for each word, and the energy to put them on the page.<\/p>\n With Fuery’s book, my tank is fluctuating between full and empty so quickly it’s dizzying! On Monday, I managed to hit my quota of 6000 words, bringing Unchained by a Forbidden Love<\/strong> up to 55,000 words in total and leaving me with 12 chapters to write. Yesterday was my day off. Today, I’m staring at the page where I left off and trying to muster some energy, a little bit of fuel in that tank, just enough to get my going.<\/p>\n My mind is all over the place right now, which isn’t helping. I’m not talking about the writerly things I have to do, like putting my newsletter together or checking the audio edition of Awakened by a Demoness<\/strong>. I’m talking, planting spring bulbs in my garden because the weather looks like it will stay dry and I have a stack of bulbs that need to go in ASAP, or planning our vacation to Canada that will be happening next spring\/summer to celebrate my 40th (I’ve dreamed of going to Canada since I was small). It’s all there, tempting me to ignore that line in my planner that says I should write 6000 words on Unchained by a Forbidden Love<\/strong> today.<\/p>\n I’m sure you’re all familiar with real life getting in the way of doing the things you want to do \/ should be doing!<\/p>\n I think getting this blog post ticked off my list will help, but I feel finding my focus today is going to be a fight. I’ll find it somehow though, even if it’s only enough to write a couple thousand words.<\/p>\n Hopefully by my next WIP Wednesday post, I’ll be able to say I’m now at 80,000 words done…<\/p>\n Wish me words!<\/p>\n As always, my comments are open, and I’d love to hear from you!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n I took a break from writing Unchained by a Forbidden Love to treat myself to a little Staycation back in September, but now I’m back at it and I’m making progress on Fuery and Shaia’s book in the Eternal Mates … Continue reading ![\"Felicity](\"http:\/\/www.felicityheaton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/signature.gif\")
