I know it&#8217;s weird to say this, but, it&#8217;s kind of a blessing that this book is not under contract&#8230;if it were, then the pressure of unblocking my mind and getting it done would increase&#8230;ten-fold!!<\/p>\n<p>I have a couple of other books that I was supposed to read and review for this blog. I&#8217;ve already contacted those authors, letting them know that reading their novels and reviewing their books will have to be placed on hold for awhile until I can complete this project.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ceceliadowdy.com\">~Cecelia Dowdy~<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m working on a novel now and my mind is blocked&#8230;I guess it&#8217;s writer&#8217;s block.
