head 19 March 2010
Ah lads, me head is WRECKED with these rewrites. I keep hitting a brick wall – well, actually, different walls but fairly constant. And it can be just the smallest thing that sets me off into a tail spin. For instance, today, I ran out of paper to write on and you’d think it was the end of the world that had happened. SO, instead of crumbling, which would be truly ridiculous, I am going to simply walk to the shop and buy myself a copybook – see? simple solution, so panic be GONE. I will be glad to see the end of this phase of the writing and hope that the sense of achievement I assume I’ll feel will bring a bit of The Happy. Also, bet I’ve been here before with you all on every book, but each seems to ratchet up a notch and the whole process gets that bit harder…which is as it should be…but bleddy hell a break would be a good thing…it cannot come soon enough.
Off to Waterford now so I hope the countryside will shine and wave to me and lift the old spirits (and if not, it could be time for spirits!)
