which-way sign

Where to go to now? Does it matter? I don't think that it really does. Heart of the Cold--my latest story--is stuck in the mud, once again. I seem to have been having more issues with this one than the previous two, which I managed to blaze ahead with quite easily until they were done. Perhaps it's just because I haven't gotten back into the routine of writing, but I think that there's more to it than that. So, I have a ssembled a hodge-podge of theories that I will be making up right now:

THEORY 1:
It seems more likely than not that the reason I have not been able to write consistently or easily over the last few weeks has been that I have not been trying to write very often, which, in the past, I have found to be anti-condusive to getting anywhere with a story. Seems to me that if I would write more consistently I would be able to actually get something done; I don't know, but this seems fairly logical.

THEORY 2:
This also seems to make some sense, well at least to me, anyway. With the other two stories, especially the first, which I rewrote several times, I had a fairly clear idea of where things were going with the whole endeavor. With Heart of the Cold I have very little idea of how things are going to go except for where they will end, which is something that doesnt really help that much... Perhpas if I got some idea of just what I was doing I might be able to get something done.

THEORY 3:
Psyche! There is no THEORY 3!

Okay, well, I have decided that if I'm ever going to get anything done, then I ought to start a) typing consistently and b) get some idea of what I am going to do. I'll figure sometihng out eventually, I guess, maybe... Well, if you read this then you're probably thinking you wasted your time, and guess what? YOU DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
