Most authors go through this. What’s the cure? Search engines are rife with solutions, suggestions, and personal stories. In my opinion, the answer lies within. You are the master of your own ship. If you put the pen down and never pick it up again, then there’d be cause for concern and a complete tragedy. It happens. Sometimes we come back stronger. When the passion is not there and the doldrums set in, it’s a sad day, week, or month, but all is not lost. Some authors tweet such feelings. A like or a simple comment or a connection to the writing community might help. Writing a book review or blog might spark an offshore breeze. There is no perfect answer. Sometimes an unexpected email or message a spiritual intervention might be a catalyst or an internal aside might creep in. The key is in the engine and the starter is receiving the impulse. Wait a few. Try again. Bring it to the shop if necessary. Eventually the engine will kick over and and you’re on your way to the docks. Your sloop awaits and the sails are mended. Enjoy the voyage.
It’s you. It always has been. One of many and one of the few who persevere and manage their wy through occasional ill winds.
BOOK REVIEW
- The Lords of the Wind The Saga of Hasting the Avenger, Book 1
- By CJ Adrien Narrated by Gildart Jackson
- Hasting the Wolf survived, against all odds, the ruthless and bloody attack that wrenched him from his birthright. Years as a slave under the very man that destroyed his family, he was purchased and taken onboard a Viking ship and toward his new destiny. A great storyline surrounds the setting and people he meets along the way. Favored amongst the gods, he rises to lead the men of his own crew. Loss of heritage and love and an enduring story kept me engaged, and I look forward to the next in the series. The narration was excellent.rt Jackson
