Iam feeling generally unenthused about everything at the moment, most especially writing. Oh, don't get me wrong, I always write. Every day, mostly. But the writing has become a bit of a battle lately and nothing's going right.
So to save you all from a fantastic vent, I am posting a nice pic of a nice man instead. I've posted him before but I think he's worth a second glance. He is my inspiration for my chessplayer hero, which I am now in the process of rewriting from Riva to Presents. And considering how much easier it is to write as a Presents, it probably means I've been aiming this story at the wrong line.
Bah.
Bah.

I can't see the picture!! ARGH!!!
Rach - no picture?? Wah!! I had ENORMOUS problems posting it so maybe there's something wrong with it. Bah. *curses Blogger*
If not, just Google David Gandy. Any pic will do...;-)
I hope you feel more enthused soon Jackie. I know the feeling and it's a downer, sucking at motivation and stopping the words from flowing.
All the best with shifting your story to Presents. It's great that you've found a better home for the chessman! I've found myself in the wrong lines before, I think because I pick what line I want to write, and then develop a story around that, rather than developing a story and then putting it in the most appropriate line. I THINK I've learned my lesson now, but who knows? :-)
Madeline - so do I. :-) Actually, I don't know if THAT will be its home. I just know that the light, sassy style I was writing it in didn't suit the conflict AT ALL. My hero is too dark for sass. Plus he doesn't flirt so that's that for Riva. :-)
Wot no David Gandy? Was it the shot with the glasses by any chance? I can't see him!
Chin up chick. Writing is a business of hard knocks, then encouragement, then another few knocks... you need teflon armour to survive sometimes, don't you?

No picture - but no matter! I've just "dreamed" my ideal hero - Hugh Jackman in a towel - you know the one - EVERYONE knows that one! ;o) Caroline x
Joanne - hopefully I've fixed the problem now! Stupid Blogger!!
If you manage to find some teflon armour, let me know. :-)
Caroline - no, I don't know the one. You'll have to send it to me. ;-)
I can see the picture!!! And now I'm blinded by his awesomeness.
Aimee - I know, right? *sighs*
Love, love your inspiration....especially as I wade through my first round edits! Can I borrow him? Pretty pleeease?
