What can someone write about after putting nearly 60,000 words into a novel within three weeks.
My head feels like a vacuum right now, just a vortex of empty space. I’m going to take December off from writing the novel as I need some space in order for my head to relax. It will also allow me the opportunity to read the rather excellent Stephen Lawhead. As this is the first historical novel that I have written there is no doubt that I will be influenced by his wonderful way of writing.
The chief aim for November was to complete NanoWrimo which has been done. However I slowly became obsessed with writing this story, it was the first thing I thought of and the last before I went to bed. The basics of the novel are done, I now just have to put the “flesh on the bones” as they say.
Yet now my mind feels vague, empty and void of any kind of inspiration. Exhaustion has crept it. Maybe I’ll start writing some poetry again, that could kick start the creative juices. My head, like my body needs a vacation, this is long overdue.
