Life goes on

So after I posted the comment below I thought maybe I could give you a little more insight into what has been going on with my life. In January I had laser surgery on my neck as I have had back pain for thirty years and when I turned forty it really got bad. In 2004 I had my neck fused by the C-4 and C-5 and for awhile that helped but two years later it worsened again and I began to get cortisone shots and I did physical therapy. That went fine up until May of 2009 when nothing helped and I went on meds to control the pain, well to say the least I didn't like the way it made me feel so I opted for the laser surgery.

The surgery was a success and I had to rest for two weeks with no work so I went hard into my novel and everything was going really well, (or at least I thought it was) after eight chapters or over one hundred pages I realized what I was writing was not in my outline, so I took a look at the whole thing and saw that really from the start it was wrong. I had spent almost six months rewriting the first chapter always wanting it to sound better and read better but I found myself rewriting way to much so I decided to just let it go and move forward. Now I realize that it is not correct and the way the story reads is all wrong, I have spent hours just staring at the monitor and I have no idea where to go with it. Now understand that I work 8-5 and have a wife so I don't have much time as it is to really write so I try to find the time when I can, but really from the last week of January up to this point I have nothing so I have set it aside and may go back to it at a later time.

I have sat and tried to write other things but right now my mind is a blank. I did receive the Dragon ages PC Game for Christmas and have since loaded that on my computer and I am now devoting my time to the game, but I hope in time to go back to writing I really do want to write something I am just in a bad place right now writing wise and have since put the pen down. I still try to come up with ideas but so far nothing has come to me.

As I said once I can, I will post the last writing prompt I did which I submitted to writer’s digest it wasn't accepted but that is okay at least I submitted it. Also in January I submitted a short piece to the Chicken Soup publishers and I am still waiting to hear if they want that piece. So in the meantime the posts might become fewer or I will just write about what is going on in my life. Hey come to think about it that is writing isn't it?
