Ugh!!!!! I’m stuck in a rough place. My head is a morass of ideas, yet I can’t seem to focus one to completely develop this novel I’m working on. I’ve written perhaps a total of three chapters and deleted them again because I’m stuck on where to go next. yeah I know writers block, it stinks. Even with all the novels I’ve been reading, nothing has helped me to focus on how I want this one to develop. I keep telling myself to keep writing and it will come to me, however that light bulb moment hasn’t come yet. So I’m asking the audience, what do you do when you’re stuck in this situation?

Currently Reading:
I’ve been reading novel, after novel, after novel…..lol. On average I think I’ve been reading at least three books at a time. But, I have happily recruited new readers for some of the series I have posted reviews on. However, here is what is occupying my spare time this week:
Wanted (Wanted Series Book 1) by Amanda Lance — A romance, suspense novel where a young girl stumbles upon and witnesses a crime and thus is kidnapped as a precaution. “Considering she’s a girl who calculates everything, Addie Battes knew the statistical probability of being abducted in her lifetime–too bad she never analyzed the odds of falling in love with her captor…”. Just started but so far it’s interesting.
Aversion (Book One of The Mentalist Series) by Kenechi Udogu— Just started!
Something to consider: Dos and Don’ts for Pitching Books to Bloggers
I read this post and found it interesting. As a reviewer myself, I can understand her point of view. It is always wise to be professional in your communication and remember that we review because we love to read. It’s our love for a good book that has us volunteering our time to complete book reviews.
As much as we would like to consider and read the majority of request that comes through our inbox, please keep in mind that sometimes it’s just a matter of timing, the book isn’t a good fit at the present time, and prior commitments.
