I have to admit, it was really demoralizing to find out a movie is being made with the same title as the working title on my lighthearted supernatural mystery novel, Thirty Minutes Or Less. Even if what they do with it is completely different from the direction I’m going, that title is now toxic and I have to come up with a new one, which is really a bummer considering it was so thematically tied to what I was doing with the novel.
Ugh.
So I’m at a standstill again with my novel. Not a data loss standstill, thank God, but any standstill produces the same result: the pages just aren’t flowing right now, and any time I think about sitting down to work on it, I want to do just about anything else, other than writing. Even if it involves researching a treatment for eczema on Google.
