When I'm writing, I feel that I need to be the character. Even though I'm the writer and know what I want to do or say, I have to be the character I'm writing about to know their responses and their actions.

I know some other writers can testify to this, but sometimes I write and I hate it. I'll write a chapter and think I need to post it so I can give it to my readers, but I just hate it so much. It's not how I want it to be and the creative process is never creative. It's just " what have I seen before and how can I use it without it looking like I plagiarized something when actually I did not?"

I sometimes hate writing itself. It sometimes feels like a chore and then I hate it. That's why so many of my books are discontinued or on hold.
