Oh, yeah, we have all been there. Fussing because characters aren't behaving and helping us along. For me it has always been a bit of challenge because I think I suffer a bit from ADD. That or I am just a flake (I lay odds on the latter). So, I have to work at concentration.
But it has been a really difficult time of it lately. As I said, I am used to averaging about 10 pages a day, and now I am lucky if I hit two. I think I am letting the stress get to me. That, and a couple of my characters are being particularly difficult with me. I figure, I will give them a break for a day or two and work on the Clan book. Which in and of itself is scary.
This is something new for me. Yeah, I have done paranormal, although no immortals, but the tone of this series is darker. And I have to curb my inclination toward too many smart ass remarks, lol. I am letting my worries and my own personal critic get to me. I need to ignore the bitch and just write it. That and take breaks and read over a fantastic fantasy by Kally Jo Surbeck. Being a critique partner is cool, lol.
Okay, going to try to write again, might need to get out of the house today for a bit. But I have Evanescene's
My Immortal ready to roll(the theme for my clan books) and I guess I will get some more Kona and get going.
