I am stuck in a car scene from hell.
I hate driving scenes. With a passion. You want to get me to stop writing? Give me a car scene.
I know, in this day and age, car scenes kinda need to happen, right? I mean everyone drives. But I hate them. My flowing dialogue become this twisted, stilted thing. And the action comes to a screeching halt. And my brain goes into meltdown trying to get through this, small but necessary for realism, torturous... thing... See? I can't even come up with a word to describe the... Oh, I give up.
Okay, my little rant is over.
I will get through it. I know I will. I have in the past. I just need some driving (see what I did there), heavy rock to get me through. I will find the song, I will get my characters out of the car. I WILL get back to sexy and back to violence. Those I think I write well. But with the good, comes the bad.
What scenes do you not like writing? What devices do you employ to get through the mud?

Hey, look! I remembered!
Hey!
So, I think I am back in the swing of things.
I have reset me some realistic goals and so far have been following though on them.
One: Write 500 a day. That may not sound like much, but with my burning desire to learn Japanese, it has been a struggle to write anything at all. Given the right circumstances, I can write 500 words in less then 30 minutes. That leaves me much of the day when I am not working to edit and study.
Two: To post in the Life after Nano Forums on the Nanowrimo message board. It is full of friendly people to help motivate and inspire. I love the place!
Three: I will be updating this blog twice at week, at the VERY least. Maybe more. But no less than twice.
Four: I WILL edit for one hour every day. I have many books that need it, so, I have to find the time to do it. Writing is one thing. Being able to bring the books to light in another. Editing is part of writing and I have to be able to do it. I have make the time for it.
Five: Study! Yes! Right now, my most favorite thing in the world. But it will not pay my bills. I want to be a writer. I AM a writer. So, that HAS to come first.
Okay, on to the fun stuff. Pictures!
And again with the standard stuff. I found these on Pinterest. I have no idea where they came from. If they belong to you, let me know and I will credit you. If you want them taken down, again, let me know and I will take them down. I am easy to get along with!
These are the Character inspiration pics for Forbidden: Addicted. I am currently writing this book.
