It's a funny thing, writer's block. Not funny as in ha ha that's hysterical, ow my sides funny - more like hmm, this is in danger of fast becoming shallow and pedantic type of funny.
The thing is it can hit you whenever wherever, no matter how good you feel about what you;re working on, and then - this is the real killer r- it lasts for random amounts of time. It could be over by the afternoon or it could take up to six months to really finish messing around with your head.
I've found the latter to be the case continuously, especially with regards to The Witch Sister but also, weirdly, with the simple art of writing a cover letter to send to potential literary agents along with my synopsis and first two chapters of Where Wild Things Grow. How weird is that? I got writer's block on an administrative form! That's gotta be worth a place in history, surely?
Oh yeah, and I've spruced up the blog as you can probably tell. Nothing too fancy, just felt the need for a change. Hope none of you find it too shallow and pedantic (I love that phrase!)
Laters.

Writers block is awful. But the phrase shallow and pedantic is fantastic.
