I'll admit it: lately, my "well" has been a little dry when it comes to writing. I just haven't really had it in me to do much of anything. Too many frustrations, too little confidence, too many voices in my head screaming at me that it was a waste of time. Let's be honest, I've been working a lot. Too much, probably, but the end of my degree is now in sight. (I only wish a job were there waiting in the wings, too, but alas, I will apparently soon join the ranks of the over-educated and unemployable masses--gotta love it.) Anyhow, that being said, I just haven't had the time or motivation to get back to my WIP. Tonight, though, I sat down and just plunged back in. I turned up my current-fav band, The Black Keys, who are utterly superb, and managed to get a good chunk in. It felt awesome. As much as I know this story has some issues, I think it also has some potential. I mean, it's Buffy meets the X-Files--what's not to love? So, I hope to keep at it. I'm right at about 20K at the moment, and with some luck will pull out a draft in the next few months. We'll see. I just have to do what I can, and hope/pray/sacrifice chickens (or, ya know, not) that things will work out.
Tomorrow will bring a post about the books of 2010. I just counted them up--53 to date. Not as many as I would have liked, but considering how much academic reading I did this year, that's not a bad number!
