Open Thread: Oracle Hotline

I'm sure those of you who have actually written books (as I'm not among them yet) will understand this struggle--I really thought I was done, but suddenly I got the option to interview the people I've been writing this biography about! And I had a fairly good formal interview, but after it was done one of them sent me a DM saying they'd love to meet in a more informal setting (the formal interview was in Zoom with a representative of the wrestling promotion sitting there monitoring it to make sure we didn't talk any shit about their former evil sex-trafficking boss). I want to! But every time I meet with them it pushes the publishing date back and I am in anguish about that! Argh!

So this week I'll ask: what's blocking you in your current WiP? Either what you've overcome or what's keeping you from finishing (though of course I hope we all overcome them eventually!)

Does real life count? 😟

Internet connection issues, other worries, all dampening my creative energy, sigh.

I'm still working on the mental hospital story. I've generally plotted out 6 more chapters, though more could be added. I'll see how it goes. 😕

As frustrating as delaying publication is, sounds like you've got a great opportunity for more juicy material! Stay steady! ☺️

It's horrible how real-life worries can destroy the creativity. I hope you can find some space and peace for your creative work! Six chapters planned is amazing!
