Things Novelists Do While Their Novels Remain ... Unwritten

[JinxSharpieMarkers]

Aaaand I'm back. Ignoring the terrible prose in the three chapters I crammed in last night, ignoring the utter cheesiness of the end of my novel, ignoring the fact that I'm using all of this to pretend I don't want to cry every time I think about the end of the book I've worked on for a year and the death of a character who has come so very far since the beginning...

Heehee, I'll just watch this video again and write pointlessly long comments.

Next to the "get to know Ted Dekker" video I saved to my computer, this is the most inspiring video out there. Thanks so much!

(Now I want to play in the rain...)

@JinxSharpieMarkers Thanks for the feedback. Delighted that you found it so inspiring. And playing in the rain is always fun (and wet!). Robin

This video is actually one of the things that REALLY made me want to write and I watch it over and over just to get motivated :)

[robinsongidaho]

@777Tellme So glad you not only enjoy the video but that you are motivated by it. It's great to know that something we had fun making has been enjoyed by others! Robin Lee Hatcher

This is well done and really sweet!  Thank you for posting.

Ladies! You are amazingly entertaining!

For me (I write historical romance), it's: "Well, I have writer's block. I'll just watch Pride & Prejudice for the bazillionth time."

Great video :)

I loved it, hilarious!! :) I'd have to add time spent "marketing" on Facebook! :)

[sarahsmithwriter]

All this and Spider Solitaire and looking to see if the mail's arrived. Even when it already has. Hilarious!

Heh, Procrastination+Writer's Block=Writers' nightmare

Because of these 2 things, I've been working on the same story for the past 2 years

Fun! I write in my pj's, but you don't know who I am, so it doesn't matter!  he he he

I do silly dances (In the tradition of Bill Cosby)

Absolutely hilarious. I did it last year and won, but still haven't recovered. This video brought back painful memories of what I did with my time last year....ha!

[maritateague]

I saw myself in places for sure. Funny

[MauriceMGrayJr]

That was hilarious!

[angelahunt]

Oh, we were willing to include male authors AND cats--and though we threw out the offer, none of them were willing to publicly humiliate themselves. ;-)

[coolstepmom]

This is great ladies - thanks for the good laugh!

[nolemuyres]

So, you are saying I am actually a Novelist?!!! How exciting, because I have been spending my time in much the same ways, while not writing!

Very funny, ladies! Thanks for the laugh!

[snugglebunny5us]

LOVED IT! It was so cute! :):)

[robertsloan2]

That was brilliant. Just wish you'd included some male authors and some cats. Got to get up and feed the cat, right? Got to comb him and talk to him and explain the premise. Get his opinion on everything.
