The Wall

Ladies and gentlemen, I seem to have hit a wall. It's something every writer deals with, I'm sure; that time where you just don't have the ideas or the gumption to actually sit down and write. Writer's block, some people call it. Only I don't really have writer's block -- I can still write at ease for my job, I still write almost every day in Birthright (the online Buffyverse RP I'm in) and I still manage my sports blogs with some regularity.

So it's not that.

It might have something to do with having four screenplays on the docket. With all of them swimming around in my head, I'm having a little trouble keeping them all straight. And when I do have the creative juices to sit down and write something, I hit a wall ... mostly because I can't decide which of the four I want to write.

Which means I need to cut back. X4 can probably be the first to go, since that's not my property to begin with and that would've probably been the hardest one to write. Funny Books I don't want to give up on just yet because it's not only my personal Kevin Smith homage, it's also a personal story for me. Bounty and Notna -- well, they were my firsts, and I really want to see those projects through to conclusion.

This is the drawback of being a writer -- and more specifically, a writer with so many interests. It's almost like writer's version of A.D.D.; got my hand in so many cookie jars I can never finish the fucking cookies.
