Above is a representation of my current feelings about my wip. Despite its simplicity, it manages to capture a litany of emotions depending on how it's interpreted.
I remember drawing something similar in high school during a time when all I wanted was to fit in. But today, it has a different meaning. It represent the overwhelming obstacle I've created that's preventing me from finishing my ms - a writer's block.
Unfortunately, I'm no stranger to the writer's block. It happens quite often but usually lasts a few days at most. Except two years ago when my block lasted 4 months. It was a nightmare. Anyway, I'm close to finishing my wip in time for my self-imposed deadline. The problem is, I'm suddenly doubting the central plot. My brain has decided to launch a coup d'etat demanding I go in a different direction with the story. So now, I find myself up against doubts, plot holes, and insecurities at the bottom of the ninth which definitely doesn't help the muse. In fact, I believe my muse has packed her junk and left. I'm afraid I'm going to have to do something I've never had to do before. An outline.
