This blog is no online journal. Rather, Stilletos, Lace & Sweet Cigars is an exercise for me and my favorite past time. Not too long ago I might have called myself a writer. However for the last 3 years I've had a vicious case of writers' block. At least, I've been blaming "the block" for almost 3 years. Haven't written a thing worth reading out loud or saving. Every now and then I'll set pen to paper and five pages will come out easy. Other times I fix a good pen in my hand and I sit there staring at the blue & pink margins. Even a blinking cursor can put me off.
So as long as I have this daily obligation, maybe I can work myself out of "the block" and get back to doing what once brought me peace of mind-that which is so hard to come by. I remember (you remember too Rae-Rae) when I could hole myself up in a room and write and write-just write. Instead of pages, I would tear through chapters. I could edit for hours too, almost always to a fault. The editing often prevented me from really finishing anything from being pleased.
Most of all I want this blog to help me find my voice, or at the very least settle on my voice.
