Default Writing purrs

Puurs to you that your writing block disappears! I wish you all the best!

I've been busting my onions with writing projects for quite a while. It
is my dream above dreams to be a full time writer, to be able to leave
the Job of Evil and spend my time researching and typing, sell the movie
rights, find a nice fat actress to play The Heroine Who Secretly Looks
Like Me. (I was thinking of Kirstie Alley, but now that she's pimped
herself out to Jenny Craig it wouldn't be very realistic!) But I'm going
on a tangent!

Can you all spare a few creativity purrs up to Buffalo?

I'm working on two projects. One is about a person who has serious
issues with religion after a disabling accident. I now find I have to
research orthopaedic conditions and Catholicism side by side, and with
my day job it's daunting. My other, which some of you have heard about,
is the autobiography of Friedrich Amadeus van Beethoven Singh, as told
to yours truly. This is the one that I want to do to solely and
specifically benefit certain no-kill cat shelters with whom Louie and I
work, and it's hitting close to home. The first draft has covered
domestic abuse (of human people, not cat people) and the crossing over
the Rainbow Bridge. If a purr can heal body and spirit (as these
postings show every day!) then why not a frustrating writing block
that's making me wail and gnash my teeth? Help!

Blessed be,
Baha

Default Writing purrs

Baha,

Purring mightily for the writer's block to disappear! I just finally
had my muse return after a lengthy, depressing stint of writer's block
or at least Writer's Vast Disinclination to Write, so I do totally
understand the frustration and anxiety connected with that state. And
with my own new project, I find there are all sorts of unexpected
things I have to research. Just remember, the library is your friend,
as is your local librarian. Put 'em to work! I can tell you, a real
research question is a welcome project after telling the umpteenth
person where the bathrooms or the videos or the children's department
is. For your first draft, you might try the Nanowrimo approach, which
is simply to WRITE. Write fast, and don't worry too much about the
quality. When you find something you feel you need to know more about
and which needs research, by all means make a note of it to yourself,
but then KEEP WRITING. Research is necessary yes, but it can become an
almighty trap. It's nice and safe, and it can bog down a project like
nothing else. It may start out with "I need to research XY or Z before
I can move on" but eventually it can become "Oh thank God, I don't
have to finish my project UNTIL I've researched X, Y and Z!"

I'll keep purring for you, if you'll keep purring for me. =o)

Melissa

purrs coming your way, but could we exchange some? My 17yr old son has (very
suddenly and unexpectedly ) split up with his girlfriend of 2 yrs. Just
before she was due to holiday with us and only a week after he bought her a
very expensive present for her 18th, which is coming shortly. Need strength
for this one!

Lots of "I'll-never-forget-my-first-heartbreak" purrs for your son! Did
she end the relationship, or did he, or was it mutual? Anyway you slice
it, it's painful. That first heartbreak of mine happened when I was 17,
too. He broke up with me, and it was very sudden. It was such a shock.

I don't know if your son is open to comforting from his mom, but I sure
would've appreciated that from my parents, if only they'd been able to
give it to me. I felt so lost - that rejection put me into a real tailspin
for almost a year. When you're a teenager, it feels like the end of the
world. But even so, while it might feel that way at first, maybe if my
parents had been able to reassure me that I was still lovable and still
*loved*, my deep depression over it wouldn't have lasted so long. I hope
your son has an easier time than I did!

no real idea as he won't talk to me. With luck it is a temporary glitch.
Since both of them were very upset and all was well up to the weekend, I am
totally confused about what could have happened. Maybe it is the stress of
impending exams or spring fever!

Default breaking up purrs - was writing purrs

Son came back this pm with ex? girlfriend - all very happy, so I assumed
they had made up. Now I am told they are still friends, which after the
hullabulooo last night has got me very confused! Why can't kids just go
straight to adulthood and leave this messy teenage thing behind? I just
can't believe the just friends bit is going to work when they want to date
others...
