Unfortunately, plotting or pantsing, the dreaded middle is the bane of every writer’s existence. You lose interest, you stall out, you hit a wall–whatever. It’s always the same. I’m at about 60K words now (and even though my original goal was 80K, it’s likely going to be 100K) and… ugh. I’ve come up with a not-so-good-but-who-cares excuse to get out of writing my 1K a day for closing in on a week now.

The trick is just to grit your teeth and slog through it. Just write. Put all your effort into writing the worst first draft that anybody has (n)ever seen and then go back and edit.

Anyways, all that said, the reason I came to your blog (via blogcatalog.com) was because I’m trying to spread the word about a new e-zine that me and a few writer friends are putting together. It’s called The Oddville Press.

(Website still under construction, but the bare bones of it are up.)

If you’re interested, you should check us out–or better yet, submit something!

It’s always great to find a fellow writer’s blog, so I’ll definitely be poking around here in the future.
