When Life Steps In & Computers Crash
My writing has come to a screaming halt the last few days. No matter how much I tried to fight it my home life just pushed it way into my time. I can’t complain really (well I could but that wouldn’t be fair) my hubby has put up with me sitting at my computer every chance I get for weeks now. (No it is more like months). Anyway he was home sick for two days, and yesterday we went to a horse show, I missed most of it because I had to come home for a form we had forgotten to take. I don’t know where my brain is at times. (Err… no I do know where it is, it’s on my books. Thinking, thinking, thinking.) We had a good day anyway, the boys won plenty of ribbons, owners hubby shows for were very happy, and we got there and home without any major problems.
I also had the great idea of changing my web site header. I wanted something fresh, something new, something that would take me to my happy place when I write. Great plan, even a fantastic plan… until I crashed my site and lost everything. So I had to start again. Nothing like a new start, a fresh start and a lesson learnt. (I hope, never really know with me what I’ll do next.) So if you get a chance have a look at my new website, the header is the same as the one here, only clearer, and (I don’t know why my headers look fun here.) Here’s the link http://www.sandiehudson.com .
So I’m not sure how much writing I’ll get done this week but I’m hoping to get at least an hour a day in, it all helps toward get that novel finished. Until next time, my the Word Fairy smile on you.

Ouch on the computer crashing Sandie….but on a bright note, your website looks great.
Thanks Eleni, I’m happy with the site. Things happen for a reason so I guess I was meant to play with my site. Hehehe. Well that’s my excuse

Sandie, you’re in good company. Recently my writing has ground to a halt. But I think that it’s normal. I bet if we surveyed other challengers they’d say they’re stalling as well. I think the key here is to take a deep breath and invision the story. Then just write a sentence. Then another. Don’t worry if it’s crap. Just tell what happens next. Or write a few lines of dialog. That’s what gets me back into the story. I usually “put it off” because I’m not sure “what all” happens next, but if I just write a few sentences, even if i cut them later, it’s usually enough to get me back into the game. We’ve only got a few days left, so let’s make ‘em count!
P.S. love the Snapshots feature. A pic and an RSS feed. How awesome!
