Non Whiny Writing Related Seeking Your Help Post.
I'm very close to finishing my children's sci-fi novel - and after things went really well and I just wrote ten chapters like that *snaps fingers* within two weeks or so I'm stuck now. I haven't written a single line in four or five days. Not even my usual do-it-yourself-brainstorming (meaning I just write down anything that comes to my mind into my journal) works anymore. I'm totally stuck, it's like my brain has emptied itself.
Usually I wouldn't worry, because it's only four or five more chapters to go - but this time, I have a deadline, and it's drawing nigh. The book is for a competition by a publishing house, and I still need to edit and revise the whole thing and send it out to my beta readers before I can even think of entering the competition.
I'm desperate. What should I do? My brother said I should maybe just leave it be for a couple of days since I've done little else besides writing the past weeks but... I'm desperate, I did mention that? It's like I've run out of ideas, and I dunno what to do! I know where the story is headed - I just dunno how to get it there. Oh Christ, help? Please? What should I do? Ideas?
On a random note: I love, love the Everwood theme. I never really warmed up to that show but I've always loved the main title. I even used to switch on the telly just to watch the opening credits :-)

Hmmm...ich könnte mir eine Stunde zum Aquarellmalen freinehmen - das hilft mir immer so gut, abzuschalten. Außer, wenn es mich frustriert weil es nicht so wird, wie ich es will :-)
Ich bin auch ein total visueller Mensch - meine Wände sind vollmit Postern, Fotos, selbstgemalten Bildern und Postkarten, Eintrittskarten, Basteleien... jeder, der in mein Zimmer kommt macht erstmal große Augen :-) Aber nur so fühle ich mich wohl :-)
Nicht umsonst ist der Sonntag Ruhetag, man braucht ihn einfach, nicht nur für die normale Arbeit, sondern auch in der Kunst, oder vielleicht besonders in der Kunst, denn sie lebt davon, wie lebendig und fröhlich dein Geist ist.
Das ist wirklich schön gesagt. Vielleicht sollte ich das bei mir einführen...
Danke für die Hilfe! :-) *drück*
