 Writer's blog
Perhaps I’m missing the point. I was under the impression that I was writing this blog to make myself a better writer, or at the very least one who turns in a reasonable number of words on a regular basis. It’ll be good for you, I told myself. Instil discipline. Give your fingers a workout. Let you feel you’re doing something productive when you’re really procrastinating over resubmitting your novel to an agent.

But less than two months in I’m struggling. It’s no longer enough for me to slouch on here and blether away about the first thing that comes into my head. I want to write proper, structured, thoughtful pieces about life and art and love and the stress caused by prolonged building work around the home. I’m not doing that. I’m blethering or wittering or churning out chunks of meaningless drivel. I am repelling my audience. I’m not even sure I have an audience.

In the meantime, both novels are suffering and I still haven’t drawn up a shortlist of agents to bother next. So I think I’ll give this blog a rest for a while.

Until I go back on this as I go back on all the promises I make myself.

Huh? Your bits and pieces are interesting. Why not use this as a test bed for ideas?
