There are glorious weeks where everything just flows and the stories come together with little effort on my part, but those weeks are few and far between. Usually it's a struggle. I agree with the break suggestion though. A quick short story break in the midst of writing the novel can be very refreshing.<br /><br />Good luck getting your groove back!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861022355718378425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-20259072108718213942010-06-17T08:47:41.467-05:002010-06-17T08:47:41.467-05:00I'm with Christine.
