It’s now been almost 8 moths since I first told you all that I wanted to write a book. I must sadly confess that I’m not much further ahead on the project then I was when I last posted in this category on my blog.

I had a really good run for about a week there in September, then I just couldn’t think of where to take the story. For the following several months I tinkered and edited, changed some passages, and worked in some details. But really I wasn’t making any real headway. I was stuck to the same 10 or 15 pages as it just changed forms.

I’ve suddenly had a resurgence of interest in writing. Not becoming an “author” mind you, but just writing something interesting. Something that other people would be interested in reading.

The real problem I’m having tonight is that as I re-read my story so far it just feels like a dead end. It’s a great start, but I just can’t think of anywhere to take it.

In short.. this little blog entry doesn’t say much. I’d like to say I’ve given myself a deadline for finishing a manuscript, but I know I would just let the deadline slip by. So I’ll just say that I’m going to give it some more energy in the coming days and see where I get.
