Here I am now, entertain me!

I'm stuck home on a Sunday morning. I'm sick and I'm bored.

Ask me anything.

ETA: As my sick son watches Scooby Doo cartoons in the background -- did you know Shaggy's real first name is "Norville"? Like, I had no idea!

Yeah, I think what I need most is to find a way to stop treating it like work and start having fun with it again. And since forcing myself to write in order doesn't seem to be working... jumping ahead may be the only way to shake my creativity loose. Thanks.

Something Angie Frazier and I talked about once was also to take our characters on vacation to a place that was outside of our story. See what they did there. Give them a rest from the story. It doesn't go in the book, of course, but it gets the character talking again. Sometimes I write down author-character conversations as well; a sort of private e-mail discussion behind the public blog (er--do I have multiple personality issues? Don't ask... :)
