However, since my screen (and my mind) were blank I decided to do a little facebook wandering which led me to your blog and I'm glad that I landed here. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455665504979570302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878172058685455293.post-67520716175482529612012-08-03T02:42:50.782-07:002012-08-03T02:42:50.782-07:00I've been experiencing a writing slump this su...I've been experiencing a writing slump this summer, too.

I know I just need to iron out this one transitional chapter but I just can't seem to get moving on it. I too have been incredibly busy but I feel like that's no excuse! I will work on it if you will! :)Lisa Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899014095250160853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878172058685455293.post-23317253474821744292012-07-30T13:21:42.233-07:002012-07-30T13:21:42.233-07:00Yes I have slumps.

And that is usually JUST what I need. Everyone needs breaks every now and then. But never stray too far from writing. If your WIP is a problem, write something else. Anything. Just keep writing.

I'm between projects, have lost blogging momentum and have been spending A LOT of time critiquing work that isn't mine. I don't often hit slumps, but when I do, I figure it's just time to take a small break before I burn myself out. So I'm slowing down, enjoying the summer, and waiting for the Fall which never fails to inspire and motivate me :)A. K.
