Writer's Block.

Weekend recap:
- Gabriel and I are now friends on facebook.
- I went exploring in the Pine Barrens with 2 friends. It was awesome. The Sunday binge-fest, however, was not so awesome. I took a bunch of laxies and am not weighing myself until Wednesday, so then we shall see how much damage was done.
- But I did not binge on Friday or Saturday.
- I have fallen seriously behind on all your blogs, and there are simply too many for me to read every single post that I've missed. So I'll just be skimming and commenting sporadically. Sorry ladies, but until the time machine is perfected, it's the best I can do. 


Writer's block has set in again, and this time with a bloody vengeance. The ideas are there, swimming around in the back of my head, but they just won't come out where I can see them. Even going back and re-reading all the stuff I've written recently is not helping. The fact that I now have 15 novels-in-progress is probably not helping either. I am working on:
1. - Book #3 in the pirate series (middle grade fic, like one or 2 chapters away from being done and I just can't finish it)
2. - Loathing (adult fiction that won't get out of my head)
3. - The Fairy Queen (middle grade, about a bunch of wacko fairies all on a quest for the title of Fairy Queen; book 2 in a series that is slowly taking form but I made the error of starting other books in the series before I finished this one and now my head hurts)
4. - Westley & the Witches (book 3 in the ^series--about a boy whose sister is kidnapped and he accidentally summons a fairy godmother to help find her; it needs to be typed because I've written quite a lot of it and it needs serious editing)
5. - 10 Signs Your Cat's About to Vomit (adult fiction that follows the disintegration and subsequent coming together of a very dysfunctional family; it has been started and abandoned like ten times--there are bits of this book floating around all over my room, in no particular order)
6. - The Book (same situation as above; about a rare-book dealer who comes across an old book with strange magic powers--the book possesses her boyfriend and he tries to kill her, and she makes friends with demons)
7. - Anya's Aria (YA fiction; the shifting points of view are hard to write so I pretty much gave up. Plus I've gutted this book to use parts of it in other books)
8. - Angelus (also YA; I no longer know where I want the story to go)
9. - The sequel to Drive (I'm like half a sentence away from throwing [and myself] it into a fire)
10. - Sinner (YA fiction inspired by Daddy's sudden conversion to Born-Again-Christianity; it's hard not to make it cliche, so I keep abandoning it and then going back)
11. - Untitled YA project (the one I've been working on the most, following 16-yr-old foster kid Anne after her brother is put in jail for murdering a bunch of women--this one has a lot of potential I think...)
12. - The Graelking (middle grade--children inexplicably vanishing into the attic of an old creepy house)
13. - The Watchtower (idk if this is YA or middle grade... a girl's twin sister goes missing, and then 3 days later no one remembers the twin and it's like she never existed, so the girl goes on a quest to find her)
14. - Red Queen (YA fantasy? It's a spin-off from the pirate series...)
15. - Untitled Middle Grade Fiction (about a 10-yr-old girl who makes friends with the weird ladies living next door. Coming of age story?)


There's too much noise in my head. Suggestions/ideas/critiques/etc would be greatly appreciated. :D
