Smash it with a hammer!
While writing Annex I faced
some of my worst writer’s block ever. My normal tricks weren’t working:
1.
Work on something else to free
up my mind: yeah right
2.
Color something pretty to
forget about it: ha!
3.
Spend time with my
interrupting cats: meh
4.
Procrastinate by playing my
favorite games: shesh
5.
Talk it over with my sounding
board: not happening
6.
Ride my horse on a nice
relaxing trail ride: nope
7.
Take the dog to the dog park:
sure
8.
Clean: bah
9.
Shop: by this point I forget
that I hate shopping
10. Have
sex: book? There’s a book?
By method number ten I was
honestly starting to panic a little. One or a combination of these things had
always helped me in the past. What was I doing wrong? Why weren’t my methods
working! Why? Why! Why?!
I was doomed. Readers wanted
this book. They’d been waiting for a long time. No more waiting!
Then it hit me.
I was stressing out about
getting this thing done. Why? Because people had been waiting so long for this
book. Once I calmed down and took a big breath writing Annex became a little
easier (with Kash’s help of course).
