I’ve slowed my pacing again. My writing is also less vivid and a bit dry. While I’m tempted to take a short break I also want to keep working, even if it’s one day at a time (at 1000 words a day).
I also think it’s time to read some poetry. Whenever my writing goes limp like it has, a good dose of good, old fashioned poetry does the trick: T.S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, even some Sylvia Plath.
Time to get the imagery wheels moving again.
