Where Have I Been??
Good question.
I think the writing part of my soul took a vacation and left me with a stack of books to read and a ton of Bollywood films to watch, but I'm all read out and all Bollywood movie-d out and the ideas are flowing faster than my fingers. I can't write fast enough or on enough projects. I want to finish them all- right now! I've spent some time looking at stagnant tales and have fresh ideas for them. The new screenplay is moving quickly. I registered for a writing conference. I've been researching some markets. I made a pitch for the new screenplay to a director (here on Xanga, of all things). Another Xangan I trust completely had suggested it and it took me a while to decide that he was right.
So... here I am... in the same place I've been since 2004, but it feels different... very different.

I hope that things goes well with your projects.
Sounds like good things are coming your way!!!
how exciting!!!
So perhaps it's not the same place after all. Perhaps it's a different place... a very different place. Best of luck with all your projects.
The same, but exciting different. I'm wishing real hard for you. Good luck!

Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.

I'm so glad to hear from you - wishing you well in every endeavor!
Often a complete break brings us back renewed and full of ideas and energy. Good for you.
Glad your writing is back on track. It's sucks when it's not.
@TroyEllison - thanks! i don't know if anything will come from them, but i have the need to keep trying, keep pushing, keep working... wish i knew where that urge came from, bc i'd like to turn it off sometimes! :)
@piqued - being in a serious writing slump is always scary- it always feels like it will last forever! so the relief when it ends is tremendous!
@doahsdeer - i know it can't be the same, bc i'm different! :) but it's funny how same it feels!
@jacksoncroons - thanks!
@mildlyobsessed - still laughing! thanks!
@malikimran - silence is fatal for a writer. one must be able to hear the voice inside in order to write- or at least that's true for me and when i can't hear it- it's scary. i rarely hit such serious writer's blocks, but when they happen, they become totally absorbing- which is why i try to treat it with more movies and music- in hopes i can jog it free!
@suzyQ_darnit - thanks! missed you too!
@AprilsPlace - i agree- it's part of the taking in process, but it's still hard to keep it all in balance when it happens!
@lexacolton - absolutely! and sooo frustrating too!
