Stifled Momentum

July 27, 2007

Yesterday I was on a writing roll. After a week of emotionally bland writing, I found my grove. My characters let loose on their emotions and I sailed through the black moment, quickly and passionately.

Today the momentum has stopped. I feel like I’m just coughing up words on a blank page again, devoid of emotion. There’s so much to wrap up and explain, and I’m so focused on the plot and getting it all in that the emotions of the characters are stifled. I know they’ll come, but my writing felt so alive yesterday. Today it’s blah, blah, blah! I just pray I can get through this next scene without boring myself!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
