Kate's Week 7

I know this is late...but better late than never :)

Like most others in the class, I also am still in a writing funk! I have tried writing in different places, in different outfits and in different forms (ie. Computer, writing and recording). I think I am really just done with this semester already. I am so tired all the time, I can barely think. I am so done with this story write now.

            However, having said that, everyday that I don’t get something down on paper I am still thinking about my story everyday. I still have brainstorms that flow in and out of my mind while doing other things. This leads me to do what the universe seems to be telling me to do…put it aside and forget about it. Maybe its like when you loose you’re keys. As soon as you stop looking or start doing something else you remember where you put them or miraculously find them. Maybe that is what is happening with my story because every time I give up, I have another great idea about my story.

            Its not that my story isn’t moving, it just isn’t moving fast enough. I have ideas, and great ones, but putting those ideas into fruition seems to be the problem. I just can’t always visualize how to make my grand scheming ideas actually happen. Maybe it’s writing this next date. It is kind of boring but I think it plays a pivotal moment in the story because it shows Stef to be complacent about who she should be dating and having sex with and also, Stef starts to see what it is to date for fun without worrying about what the date actually meant with the guy and where it will go from here.

            It’s just getting through this date, even writing about it is hard because it is so droll. I really wanted it to have more humorous moments like the first date. It definitely is turning out to be awkward. The biggest challenge is how to show awkwardness without actually saying it. This date is awkward, he is awkward, he is has an awkward humor, this is a weird date. Obviously I can make him say and do awkward things but I’m wondering if I am being dramatic enough?? Or not enough.

OH WRITING BLOCK PLEASE STOP!
