I’m revamping my original novel again (the one I was supposed to write for NaNoWriMo…) and combining with an idea that popped into my head the first time I saw Deathly Hallows Part II, plus repeated viewings of Once Upon a Time and The Tenth Kingdom.

So, recap on the influences for this book:

Pan’s Labyrinth, Human Croquet, Once Upon a Time, The Tenth Kingdom, Deathly Hallows Part II, a Tumblr post about Disney characters becoming Hogwarts professors.

This should be interesting.

Ugh, this is what always happens to me. I come up with an original idea, start developing it…and then I hate it and give up.

I’ll never write a real book. 😦

Oh geez! I listen to a little bit of everything. I tend to build playlists for specific stories, but in general I listen to Arcade Fire and movie scores.

Oh geez. Writer’s block. The bane of my existence.

Basically, I take it one sentence at a time. I write a sentence, then do something else. Write a sentence, do something else. I keep doing that until I hit my stride.

And sometimes I just stop writing and spend a few days watching movies, reading, playing with my cat, etc.
