It never fails. I sit down on my recliner, laptop in hand, alcoholic beverage of choice on the end table and Pandora playing on shuffle in the background completely prepared to write what my characters have been screaming in my head all day, but something happens before I give them the chance to tell their story. MY thoughts interfere with theirs- and win. So instead of writing, I end up looking at Pinterest, updating my website, shopping on Amazon and pretty much everything OTHER THAN writing this damn book!
SO.FUCKING.FRUSTRATING. I need to shut it all off, buckle down and get it out of my head and into your (the reader's) hands. What's stopping me? I know the quality of some of the work I've done recently, and I honestly don't know if I can top it or at the very least, match it. That may sound like I'm being conceited, but it's nothing like that. I don't even look at myself as a great writer. Good- maybe. Great- not a chance. Why? Well, I'm no J.K. Rowling or Stephen King. I have great ideas, but A LOT to learn. However, I am eternally grateful for the fans I've amassed with my current works. I can only hope as I embrace the gift of Raven't Seduction Press' publishing offer, that number will grow and my words will be heard. Be it good or bad experience, every reader is a welcomed one. That being said, I'm going to shut the hell up now and get to writing. That's what I planned doing nearly two hours ago, yet here I am, writing in this damn journal. See? I've done it again! Until next time! xoxoxo Lisa
