Secondly, I've been feeling somewhat defeated over my lack of flow with my WIP. I know some writers will say when it's not flowing it means you gotta change something but I know it's not that. It's my inner editor taking over and stifling my creativity with ungentle reminders of what I'm doing wrong.
So last night before I went to bed I thought I'd do a bit of reading, just to relax and guess what? The writer made all the mistakes that have been sending me loopy over the last couple of days. So then I thought, well if this one has these mistakes, who else is making them? Cue insane investigation of novels searching for broken writing rules. With each discovery I felt a bit better and eventually (leaving a very messy pile of books all over the floor) I went to bed promising myself that when I next sat down to write and my inner editor attempted a coup I would delightedly show her my evidence (and then strangle her).
Well I tried it and while it wasn't as satisfying as I had imagined it, it worked better than trying to ignore her for no reason. And what's a girl supposed to do when she's feeling a tad on the bluchh side? Why go shopping of course. Don't mind if I do! Here's what I brought home. Like 'em?
Apparently they grew up together and I just couldn't bear to part them!
