I hate plotting. I'm so sick of looking at my scenes, I could scream. "Progress" has come to mean dragging scene concepts from my mind like trying to rip a lollipop from a screaming two year old. Then comes the arduous process of turning the scene concept into an actual plotted scene. Even more fun. And I've been wrestling with this for so long now, that I look at what I've got and the whole thing just looks mediocre. Which is so not what I'm going for.
I need to just start writing. I've probably waited too long, spent too much time on the process. Now I just feel frustrated and downtrodden.
So, I am going to take a break. From now until January is my time. No Book. No plotting. No feeling like I should be working instead of [insert activity of your choice]. I will take this time to catch up on my to be read bookshelf (which is overflowing) and recharge my creative juices. And then, when January comes, I will be ready. And I will kick this book's ass. ;)

breaks are good. if i could be a little constructive about my time, meaning give myself work parameters, then i would probably work more and also spend less time banging my head against a wall, during which time i'm neither productive nor enjoying myself. hope you're well. love, D
