Weekly Check-in Post

It's that time of the week again, when we get to find out how everyone is doing.

How are you? Basking in the glow of having nearly finished your story? Breaking out in a cold sweat every time you think of how much more you have left to write? Somewhere in between?

Since I'm tending more to the breaking out in a cold sweat side of things, I thought I'd link to one of my favourite pieces of inspiration: The Little But Really Useful Guide to Creativity.

So, what inspires you? What do you do when you just can't seem to write another word? What keeps you going when things are going really badly? Or really well, for that matter?

And if you have any questions or comments about your BB story, or you just want to have a little whinge, now's the time.

Real life has been a real b*tch the last three weeks and I haven't been able to look at my BB at all. Now that things are slowing down I'm freaking out that I'll have lost momentum and what's even worse is I can't bring myself to look at what's already down.

I'm not panicking too much at the moment, though. Last time I looked I was over 26,500 words (not that I think it will have increased while my back's been turned! lol) and there's still plenty of time left.

I think it will be an early night tonight and an early rise tomorrow. I'll get up before anyone else, make a cuppa, and begin by reading what i've already written while it's nice and quiet. Hopefully things will start flowing then.

I'm glad to hear the RL issues are slowing down a bit. I'm sure you'll get stuck back into the story fine. Sounds like you've got a good plan for getting back underway.

And that word count! That's impressive. And you're well over what you'll need for the rough draft deadline, so that's fab!
