Today and the weekend is going to be soooo busy I'll not have a spare minute to write and I'll be so tired in the evening that I'll be longing for my bed and will not have the strenght to write either...
Oh well, we'll see how it goes. :-)

I know about busy weekends. Your word count should see you to Monday without falling too far behind... good luck!

Didn't get any writing done today at work because I didn't feel good slacking off to write, plus there were some *ahem* scenes in the middle.

Then I spent some time at home raging because Google Docs no longer allowed me to create documents in full view, but forces everyone to accept fixed width. Now that I am done, it's almost time for sleep, but I want to write at least 1k before I do. :D Whee!

I know it's more annoying, but I think there are some full screen templates that you can create new documents from.

I found this one for example. :)

(I like the fixed width one, but that's because it makes me feel like I've written more than I have. ;))

[geminianeyes]

Hahaha, I found the only workaround was to use copy over an older doc, cause they mentioned that they were going to retire the older templates. I can still use them, I just find it horribly annoying and painful.

[ladyseishou]

I haven't used Goggle Docs for a while, so thanks for the heads up. Hope that it works out for you. Good luck!

Still doing nothing... absolutely nothing... which is really frustrating!

Has your story run out of steam or are you unsure what happens next?

You might try writing a letter from your main character to another character (nice stationary optional) or take some time describing a location in your story as your character showing someone new around...

Or make a short list of adjectives that describe your character and then write each word into a sentence and then into a scene...

Or write out the last scene of your story and then work backwards...

Try something fun to get your writer groove back! Good luck!

I have no idea what happened. It's like my brain decided to move and not leave a forwarding address.
