Writer's Block
Mar. 23rd, 2007 08:28 pmIt amused me today that with so many posts lately about Writer's Block (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jenlyn_b had a great comments conversation about it in her blog this week) on the blogs I read, it was pertinent that today's Dork Tower also mentioned it.

I don't know if I've mentioned it here yet or not, but Departure is sort of available on Amazon. It was available earlier this week with a four-to-six week shipping (which I thought was odd), and today when I checked, there was one copy available with the note that they were reordering. So either they got through the first shipment from my publisher extremely quickly (exiting!) or they've mucked something up in the process (sad).
At any rate, if you've been looking for it, it is appearing sporadically, if you search under Alana Abbott. Into the Reach shows up there as well and periodically has copies available.
It sounds like the most reliable thing to do is go to your local game store and buy there. Not only does it support gaming (hurrah!), but it means Alliance (the distributor) thinks I'm important. Sort of.
--
As a note, I'm procrastinating instead of writing my novel. Does anyone have particular motivation strategies to help get excited about a writing project that just seems to be dragging along? I've seen plenty of really good suggestions for writer's block (I usedjenlyn_b's "BIC" method earlier today), but none for pep talking.
Off to try to write another ten pages before e-mailing my editor.
