A few weeks ago, I decided to get serious about writing the romance novel that burns inside me. I made an outline, worked out my characters, got an idea of the various scenes I want to include, did my research and made heaps of notes. The problem is, now that it's actually time for me to sit down and get to the actual writing part, I can't seem to figure out where to start.]]> no@spam.com (Barbara Dunlop) https://www.autocrit.com/websitepublisher/articles/145/1/Getting-Beyond-Blocked/Page1.html https://www.autocrit.com/websitepublisher/articles/104/1/Courting-The-Muse/Page1.html
But what do you do when your typing fingers stall completely? When the creative well dries like your heroine's mouth after she first sees the hero? Time to woo your Muse and indulge in a little creative regeneration.

After five blissful years and seven and a half completed manuscripts, Gertrude took an unapproved vacation. No warning, no disagreement to precipitate her departure. One day she was there, the next she'd disappeared. Ideas no longer flowed from my brain to my fingertips. I spent weeks staring at a blank page in my Word document. Day and night, regardless of where I was--the supermarket, my son's baseball game, in bed--a voice echoed: "What happens next?" And for the first time in my writing life, no answer came to me.
