Good Afternoon

It's 1 PM here on Wednesday afternoon. I've had an interesting morning. I'm trying to work out a problem with the book and thought watching a couple of movies would help. It didn't. I'm still trying to work it out and not pull out my hair at the same time. I could really use someone to brainstorm with right now. That's not going to happen, so I'll work the notifications and spend time here with you and maybe I'll come up with the next scene for the book. How was your day? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. It's spring so I thought I would give you some flowers to brighten your day.

I got it done, at least the next scene so it's moving forward once again. Thank you. I agree. This time of isolation seems to be isolating my brain too.

Maybe it will come to you when you are not trying to think of it..it often seems to happen that way.

I did while I worked here. I opened it up when I finished the last batch of notifications and I was ready to write.

So there is something that needs to change in the draft of the book, or has it been published and some revision is required?

@just4him that is a good progress. Meanwhile, I published a short story on Amazon ebooks yesterday, after a long time, and plan to put more. Away from monetizing but well, some things do give us happiness even if they do not bring instant monetary benefits.

No. I haven't finished writing it yet. I don't outline the book before I write as many authors do. I write first page to last and occasionally come up against a blank wall. I moved ahead yesterday and made more headway with it this morning.

I really hope you're able to work it out soon. Could you brainstorm with someone via messaging or email, or video chat? My day was okay.

It happens. I'm moving ahead once again, though now, I'm at a stopping point. I need to figure things out before I move on. I might work on my new book while I figure out the situation.

Sounds a productive day. My day so far is going well. Completed few tasks and will do the rest in the second half. I'll be off for lunch after sometime.

It's okay, they were good movies even if they didn't help with the problem. I moved ahead with the story yesterday after I finished the notifications and made good headway with it.
