As I write this day 16 is about to end and day 17 begin. That's not exactly the halfway point in the month. I've been so focused on my word count that I put off writing this blog entry. I actually considered writing a post each day just to say "Hey I wrote more words today!" but that takes time that I'd rather spend on my word count.
It also doesn't help that I don't have anything helpful to say each day for thirty days in a row. People have made entire careers out of giving advice to fellow writers about the process of writing. Having done this for going on three decades (albeit never in a professional capacity) my experience is that there aren't any easy answers to the major questions asked. There can't be because writing has too many variables inherent to it to allow for easy answers. Sure I could give some quick platitude or bit of advice but it would only ever be applicable to a narrow range of circumstances. That's why so much of the advice out there is vague and sort of fluffy like a drifting cloud.
