I wish I was one of those authors who say they've never had writer's block. I really do, because it is my least favorite thing in the world. Especially when I know what has to happen in the scene, but the words won't flow.
For instance, Mr. Hawke and Esther are trekking through the forest. They are about to uncover the start of the faerie's mischief. But I just can't put the moments before the discovery into words. As a result, I've spent most my time thinking and not writing. My daily count is just over 500 words. That's awful. Yes, better than none, but not as good as my average of over 1,000.
I normally have two remedies for blockage. Either move onto writing the next scene and hope I can connect the dots, or distract myself with a book or video game. Seeing as how next week will be full of video games, I am reluctant to partake of that distraction right now. At the same time, I just can't find the right words.
I think I'll just play something tonight instead. I don't want to spend more time staring at a blank Word document.
