Two things.
First: saying that I wrote nothing for that twenty-year period of writer's block is, I have to admit, an exaggeration. I did write a few scenes for various different stories, including what started the first story of the Nerd-Do-Wells series.
But they were always these short bursts of creativity that I could never build into anything sustainable, so inevitably they were more frustrating that satisfying.
Still, my earlier post made it sound like I didn't string more than five words together for two decades and that's not really true.
Second: I keep forgetting this site exists! I was thinking of it mostly as a space to house my stories and thus far...no completed stories. So it slips my mind.
But it's here, so might as well do something with it. Going forward, I'm going to try to post something every week. Set myself a reminder and everything. I'll look at it as a chance to reflect on and record my writing process, which is definitely something I'm still figuring out.
