Achilles heel

Hope everyone one had a great 4th of July. I know I did, I love fireworks!!!

What I do not love is when life sometimes feels like everything is crashing down around you. And that is how I have felt lately. I need a break, or a vacation, whichever came first I'd take it for sure.

So we all know I have my ups and downs when it comes to my writing. Well right now I am at a DOWN... way down there at the bottom of the hill to the point of I am not sure if I will ever see light again.

I have finished very few projects. It is my Achilles heel, finishing a WIP.

I had been so determined to finish this one, I am sitting at around 50,000 words and I can't seem to make myself sit down and go forward. I am 2/3 done, I mainly just need to finish the story and then go back through it to edit like hell and add filler. But I just don't seem to be in the mood. For anything, not just writing. I know what my issue is, I just do not seem to know how to get over it and move on.

Again, back to that dire need of a vacation is in order. Too bad I do not see one in my close future. Instead, I see even less time for myself or writing for the next few months. And I think that just depresses me right out of doing the things I enjoy.

What can I do to jump back on my wagon? My original goal had been to finish Mady's story by the end of June, then I pushed it back to the end of summer. Well folks, the end of my summer is July 31st and my hopes of being finished with the first draft are not high, not even in the middle...

If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Till next time...
