Now with added swearing

July 17, 2008 by tamarasheehan

I believe the word well might actually be empty.  I’ve been sitting aorund staring at various surfaces (paper, computer screens, table tops) all day and all I’ve managed to be able to do is describe how I’m spending so much time staring and how I wish I had a project but the words won’t come.

This is the place I got to after I write something big, the place where I used to panic about never writing again.  Ha ha!  I’ve got inter-project blues!  I wish I’d realized that this morning, I could have spent the day doing stuff instead of sitting around staring at things wondering why my brain’s not working.

Enough of this shit.  I’m off to karate.

  • Tamara Sheehan

    Tamara Sheehan is the Aurora Award nominated author of The Tenth Man, a fantasy novel about terrorism and revenge set in the modern world. Her newest book, The Mediocre Assassin's Handbook is out from Prizm Young Adult, and her next book Stormy Bamboo and Other Tales is in the works. Both are both set in an alternative 19th century Asian world. Tam has written over dozen short stories and reads slush weekly for Bewildering Stories. She likes feedback (no, really) so if you want to get in touch you can join her email list at tamarasheehan is @ hotmail dot com (and suffer spam once a month) or introduce yourself when you see her at a convention. If you want to pick up a copy of one of her books, check out the Shop.

  • What I’m Reading Now

    I just set out an ambitious program of reading designed to help me prepare for the next book I'm writing. It's sitting in a slightly scary pile over by the table. Mean time, I've got Shake Hands with the Devil on loan from my friend Devon, The Essential Haiku sitting on the coffee table, a new Locus Magazine and A Woman's Guide to Peak Performance, which is what I picked up after I threw Training For Black Belt across the room.
