Hmmmm....

Apparently, it takes Power Ballads of the 80s to break my writer's block :-p  I wrote 2 pages the other day, and I enjoyed writing them.  They came quickly and smoothly.

I'm about 15 pages into my story right now, and am now toying with another idea.  I started writing in third person, and am beginning to entertain the idea of switching to first person.  I'm not sure which would work best, but I'm finding it hard to describe some of the scenes in third person and feel like changing the perspective might help. 

I'm just not sure if I want to go back and rewrite the entire 15 pages again in a different view.  It would be almost like writing another story entirely.  I had toyed with the idea of writing it anyway, and keeping both drafts going simultaneously.  But I'm concerned that chipping away at 2 stories at once will tap my muse and my creativity.  I am having such great luck (knock on wood) so far with my writing that I am concerned that by tapping it too much it might dry up again. 

I think that tonight I may try to start at the beginning of a first person version of what I have already written so far and see how that goes.  I may try to wrestle with both versions for the time being, and if I find that one of the other flows better, then perhaps I will switch gears and focus on one more than the other.

We'll see I guess.  Tonight, I'm writing to the tune of Waterworld (I love Kevin Costner! :-p) and then following it up with whatever creative mix my Pandora can come up with :-)
