Charlotte
(Well, if this is supposed to be about creativity, I might as well write about creative stuff - right?)
My writing for the moment is rather slow. It is kind of annoying, because I have some great ideas - but for once there seems to be a problem to get them from head to paper. It could have something to do with my aching fingers, but it is still annoying. I am working on a rather big project at the moment, 25 short stories, set in a school-class. Each short story follows one of the students for a week, and sometimes they pop up later on in other stories, and so far I have finished four.
The fifth I am working on is the story of Charlotte, who spends her afternoons writing in a small café - and eyeing up a man who always comes there on Mondays. So far, so good, but the writing still goes slow, I know what I want to happen, and I can kind of get it to move in the general direction of that, but that is about it. It's like wading through mud.
Usually when things like that happens I know it means I have to delete some of the text and rewrite it - but I actually don't think that's the problem now. I just need to keep on pulling. It might end up in something worth while, after all!
