What's Going On?
I can't believe this. Second week in a row where I have no motivation to write. I'm constantly tired from the residencies, and when I think about Forbidden Phoenix, I just want to take a very long nap. I think I'm officially burnt out with that script. The problem is I have to revise it in time for the March workshop. I'm not ready to call this writers' block, but I'm getting pretty close.
I think I'm going to take a couple of steps back and try to do some work on paper. I have to reconceive the second act, and maybe it'll be easier to do in outline form. Hmm, maybe tomorrow. Yes, yes, I'm admitting failure today, just like I admitted failure last week. Something has to spark eventually... I just can't muster any excitment for this project or any writing project.
Definitely not a great frame of mind for the start of 2008. I'll see what I can do tomorrow with either the play or an Edmonton Journal article. I figure if I just start pushing myself to sit at the computer and write, I'll be able to forge ahead. Or maybe I should work on my laptop upstairs for a change of environment. Anyway, I'll find something to bust through this. I can't afford to let it go on for much longer.
