This writing process is an emotional roller coaster! Just look at my last two posts: one minute I was thrilled with the progress I made with my story, the next I was in despair about the story and writing in general.
I laid awake in bed last night (probably because I slept so much all damn weekend...) and I spent some of the time thinking about one aspect of my story that needed work. I think I figured out why the character is doing what she's doing, which will help me take a new crack at the story tonight. But I'm far from that elated, aha, top-of-the-roller-coaster feeling. It's more like I'm dreading the work, not quite sure if I'll ever get that good feeling again.
At least I have some place to dig in.

From snick to this in just one week! Let me make a prediction: You WILL get that good feeling again. ;)
The truth is we all know it will come back, though it feels as if it never will. You're doing the best thing possible & working through it. (you're probably back on it as I type)
