I am frustrated with the fact that I am not a very consistent person. My effort with everything ebbs and flows like the tide. I will spend days furiously typing at the keyboard or writing in my notebook, then I will stop for days or weeks. I wish I could just write every day. Sometimes it's just not in the cards though. I am a very particular person. For example, I can't write when anyone else is in the room or when there are too many distractions. In other words, I can only write during the day when Wolfie is napping because at that point I am as alone as I am gonna get.
Whatever. Slow and steady wins the race. Maybe I would get more done if I wasn't so obsessed with the little details though.
I am writing a story about vampires because I'm obsessed with them. It's sad really, I have been obsessed with vampires since I was fourteen. You would have thought that I would have grown out of it by now. What frustrates me though is that I can't seem to find any books involving vampires that aren't mysteries. Well, save for Anne Rice. See, I am not really fond of mysteries. I am more fond of emotion. If any of you have any book suggestions for me regarding the matter I am all ears!! (I have already put 'Twilight' on hold at the library. I am skeptical of it, but so many people are reading it I just have to see what all the fuss is about.)
Other book suggestions would be greatly appreciated too!!

But I have come to the conclusion that for me, the best thing is just to go with it ~ so I just let the inspirations arise and flow and let them do as they will instead of pushing or trying too hard ~ just accepting what is temporary and maybe take a walk in the woods or something to encourage some introspection or creativity ~and I have noticed it has really helped me work on things and stay inspired much much longer.
I might have some vampire book ideas...let me think
i think i have the same consistency issues as you, though i guess maybe thats just a part of the creativity.
goodluck with your book!
