ruuger very kindly recced my story, The Worst Journey in the World to spuffy_recs the other day, and I've just spent half an hour reading parts of it again (I'm supposed to be writing something else, but it's not working). Daft thing is, it brought tears to my eyes. The last bit is really quite upsetting. Also, I can't believe I was ever able to write anything like that. How on earth did I do it?

And if you need more anti-block pep talks I have dozens up my sleeve. :D

I'm probably going to need them. ;)

Well thinking about it yesterday I think what I most want to say is this: whatever you do make a conscious decision. If you aren't in the mood to write then that is fine, you are an amateur which means you always have the choice not to write. So just don't write - go and spend the time enjoying yourself doing something else. Alternatively if you decide you do want to write then also fine, but if that is your choice then tell yourself you absolutely do have to write for the allotted time. Even if everything is telling you it is crap, or going wrong or whatever, just write. What seems to be making you most miserable at the moment is that you are neither writing nor enjoying yourself not writing, so my main advice is to pick one or the other and go for it :)

I think I'm just frustrated. Big change in my life that I haven't yet come to terms with. :(

I daresay it will work out okay in the end.
