Uh-oh. I think I’m suffering from a case of the “post-novel depression” my friend Mallory writes about.
That’s right. I went to my local Starbucks this morning when the Boyfriend headed off to tennis. I was all psyched to get back to writing. After taking a week off post-NaNo, I needed to write again.
Or so I thought.
I sat at the Bux for about two hours and managed to write … all of 200 words.
Aargh.
I could blame it on the fact that I stopped work on Beth & Cody’s story in the middle of a scene. I had a hard time picking it back up, having absolutely no idea where I’d originally intended it to go. (And I’m not sure I much like the new direction.)
Oh well. That’s 200 words I didn’t have this morning … and tomorrow is another day. Maybe I’ll eke out another 200 words (especially if I finish this scene and move on).

Something I’m doing that might help you is to take a day or two and regroup. Do you have an outline for Beth & Cody’s story? If so, maybe pull it out and go over it. Looking over what you’ve already written too will put you back in the right frame of mind.
i did read through it last week. Guess I should pull out the synopsis … yes, I actually wrote one BEFORE I started writing this time. (Usually, I wait until after it’s written.)
