Writers Block

Writer's picture: Ray T WalkerRay T Walker

I can normally write anything and lots of it. I considered writers block a crock of sh*t, if you can write you can always write. Normally before finishing a book I have the ideas for a dozen others. No such thing as writers block. Then three quarters of the way through a four hundred and fifty page novel a perfect storm occurred. My PC died. (I was not worried, it was an old PC and I had been thinking of buying a new one) The hard drive with it. (still not worried) I had backed up the novel to both a pen drive and a hard disk drive. The pen drive faulty I proceeded to my trusty hard disk to find the file corrupt. Eight months work, good work; I like to think, down the drain.

That is when I had writers block but to be honest think that it was pure despondency. I published one short story in three years. Eventually I forced myself to rewrite the book. The premise was good, the execution flawed. Yet If I had not forced myself to continue (despite hating the result) I would have ceased writing completely. Despondency, for me, is " writers Block"

What’s New With Raymond Walker

As you can see from the notes above,  "Under Dark Skies" will be released on the 18th of October. Earlier for those who have funds to buy the early edition hardback. I have started doing a little pre-publication advertising and held a talk about its forthcoming release. Happily, the pre-publication reviews have been great. Comments such as "Dark and Delicious" From Lucy Briggs of "Wondrous Tales" and "A clever, accomplished Mystery" from fellow author Rob Anderson have done nothing but confirm my enthusiasm for this Book.

18th October. 
Under Dark Skies.
