A LASSITER CHRISTMAS
11/29/2020 10:34:33 AM

An unexpected delay
I`m sure other authors have experienced this same problem. A lot of people experience writers block. If that is indeed what I am suffering from it is for the first time. In any case it offers only a name to put to this problem. It does not offer any solution. However I honestly do not think that is what it is. What I tell myself is that there are other factors at work here. I believe that authors such as myself who are in lockdown due to this virus, providing we are in reasonable health , simply because we have been lucky to escape it so far, should be thanking our lucky stars for the opportunity to write more and that is certainly true. However I can`t quite bring myself to get on with my fourth novel in the Lassiter series in the same way I did with the first three. I have come to the conclusion that mentally, subconsciously or whatever you wan`t to call it I am putting pressure on myself to get this novel finished. In my head I am constantly proposing and then immediately rejecting plot and sub-plot ideas for it. The one thing I am not doing is sitting down and writing it.
I am making excuses to myself by telling myself I need to be on social media more because Christmas is fast approaching and I need to sell my existing books. I undoubtedly do. I am also telling myself I need to keep in touch with everyone in the world of writing I was in touch with before the pandemic. I undoubtedly do. However it`s not as easy to get hold of people these days. Well really to get anything constructive done because every one else is also suffering lockdown constraints. I always went out for a walk and a chat with whoever I met in the days before lockdown and now when I do all we talk about is how much progress is being made in the fight against this disgusting pandemic. Therefore I am not coming back home refreshed and inspired to resume writing the way I used to be. That is also undoubtedly true.
As I sit here and write this blog I know deep down why all this time should getting spent on writing Lassiter 4 and isn`t.
I am prevaricating. Putting it all off. I have no excuses. Yes this year has been a pretty dreadful year for many many people but I have been much, much luckier than many and I`m just not grateful enough for that simple fact.
Even the time spent writing this blog... Wait a minute here Liam. You`re trying to make excuses for yourself again. Want to know why you are not busy writing Lassiter 4? You admitted earlier in this very blog you have a lot more time at hand to be spent writing it. Right?
Well then. You have the solution. You are not doing what you know you love doing. Why? One word for it pal. Laziness!!
