i’ve been working on setting sketches-the main character’s apartment, for example. i also created a timeline as to the events that led to where the novel begins. however, as for actually getting words onto paper…i can’t seem to do it. i can’t make myself sit down-no, that’s wrong. i can sit down, but all i can do is stare at a blank screen.

a few months ago, my therapist said that my inability to write/get the words out is bound up with my anxiety. and let me tell you, my anxiety right now is high. how fucked up is this: i’m actually anxious about whether or not i’m slipping back into a depression. if that isn’t anxiety, i don’t know what is.
