As I alluded to in my last post, my life is a bit of a jumble right now. Don’t get mad at me. I’ll be telling you everything soon enough! But for now, let’s just chat. I’ve been in a slump with The Crimson Witch… With everything that’s been going on in my life, the creative juices haven’t been flowing super great.
I experienced this same exact struggle a number of years ago when I was trying to finish writing The Bear Gap Rebels. That book serious kicked my butt. It was definitely the most difficult plot I’ve ever written. After YEARS of grueling through that book I was nearly done with it and then I met this really cute guy who ended up becoming my husband.
During those early days of dating, I was soooo distracted and had so much going on that I struggled to actual finish The Bear Gap Rebels. I did of course end up publishing it, but then I took another writing break after we got engaged cuz wedding planning was ALL CONSUMING. Wedding planning is such a racket, am I right?
My point is, there have been times in my life that my writing has taken a sever dip. I feel like I’m in one of those times right now. The words just aren’t coming. Is it writer’s block? Yea, I’m probably experiencing some flavor of writer’s block. Mostly I’m just in a transition period where I have so much to do and don’t know which end is up. I’m just being honest, okay? I’ve even taken a break from my writer’s group. That’s how serious this is!
Despite my not-so-great report on the progress of The Crimson Witch, I have been continuing to build up the Street Team. I’ve added almost 20 new people to the team! I’m thrilled about this. I remember when I only had a handful of people helping me and I think I was related to most of them…
The newbies are getting acquainted and also reading up on all the Camilla books so they’ll be ready when I do launch The Crimson Witch. Because of course, I do still plan on finishing and launching this book. Whenever I’ve hit a slump like this in the past, I’ve always come out of it. So, don’t worry too much for me. I’m confident I’ll be cruising again soon enough.
