					<description><![CDATA[<p>One of the biggest pieces of advice I give aspiring writers is to outline. And yet here I am completely free-styling this blah-g because I have nothing to say today. Don&#8217;t take it personally, my current manuscript is also feeling the chill. It&#8217;s just one of those weeks where I find myself struggling. Words are sticky. Ideas are hiding. My internal settings are on <em>slo-mo</em> and I can&#8217;t seem to get them back to <em>kick-ass</em>.</p>
<p>Do you think that makes me doubt my career choice? Question my ability to make my looming deadline? Make me wish I could get that clothing airstream I&#8217;ve always dreamed of and walk off the job?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the biggest pieces of advice I give aspiring writers is to outline. And yet here I am completely free-styling this blah-g because I have nothing to say today. Don&#8217;t take it personally, my current manuscript is also feeling the chill. It&#8217;s just one of those weeks where I find myself struggling. Words are sticky. Ideas are hiding. My internal settings are on <em>slo-mo</em> and I can&#8217;t seem to get them back to <em>kick-ass</em>.</p>
<p>Do you think that makes me doubt my career choice? Question my ability to make my looming deadline? Make me wish I could get that clothing airstream I&#8217;ve always dreamed of and walk off the job?</p>
<p>YES! YES IT DOES.</p>
<p>And so I will quit. I will stop writing because I have nothing interesting to say. I will also stop because the word &#8220;interesting&#8221; is one of the least descriptive words in the world and I just used it. In public. So this is me quitting. Bye. Of course, I will be back at my desk tomorrow. Because I&#8217;m responsible and not the beneficiary of a trust fund? Maybe. Because I don&#8217;t have an airstream? Given. But mostly because talent doesn&#8217;t make a writer good. Desire does. And I have plenty of that. Starting tomorrow.</p>
<p>How was that for an off-the-top-of-my-head riff. Did I just compose jazz?</p>
<p>TTYW,</p>
