Starting over again.

[Staerwyen]

Hey, have any of you ever quiet writing for a while and found it was hard to go back? Well thats my dilema right now, so what I was wondering is this should I try and pick up on the stories I was working on, or should I move on to something else, any suggestions are welcome. :erm: :erm: :erm:

I'd say pick up whatever you're inspired to work on. If it's not something you started before, don't worry about it. You're not OBLIGATED to work on something you've already done. Just go with whatever you're interested in right now rather than trying to force yourself.

In my experience, if you force yourself to write, the writing will end up feeling forced.

So you quit working on a project and can't get back to it? Maybe your subconscious is trying to tell you something.

Sometimes a story works and sometimes it doesn't. In the case of the latter, sometimes it can be salvaged and sometimes it can't. Only you know what the case is in this instance.

If it's hard to write new material, then maybe you could try revising material, and easing your way back into a writerly frame of mind. That works for me.

I've got exactly the same sort of problem, staerwyen. I went through my writing lately and found that there wasn't anything new from the last two shifts. It didn't help that I lost a lot of stuff when one of my computers collapsed. My current scanner's useless on OCR - fortunately most of it was printed out at some time. I guess it's not so much the location that's moved, it's the lifestyle is much busier.

If you find out - let me know! :) :) :)
