I’m having a
little bit of this issue with Mirror Images Book 2. The problem I’m having is
that the story was originally a screenplay, so how do I move scenes around so
that they’ll make more sense in book form? Every once in awhile I get
frustrated and turn off the computer. I do have a way that I deal with this
kind of writer’s block though.
Whenever I
feel overwhelmed with a story or challenged by the characters to the point
where I feel I need a short break, I turn to a different story. I have tons of
ideas, probably too many book ideas written down. So, oftentimes, I’ll switch
to a fresh story and work on that for awhile. It really helps. Then, when I hit
that writer’s block wall on that story, I go back to the other. It keeps my
mind fresh and keeps me interested in what I’m doing.
I’ve heard
some writers say that juggling stories doesn’t work for them. I can see how it
might get a little bit confusing, but for me, it’s the best way to beat
writer’s block. And when that doesn’t work, I grab a cold beer, kick my feet
up, and rethink my strategy.
Thanks for
reading,
C. Michael Powers
started writing at the age of 16 when his dad and younger
brother were out fishing, and he was left alone, with only his thoughts, his
sleeping grandfather, and an old typewriter. Since then he hasn't been able to
stop. Now, living in his wife's beautiful country of Panama, with she and their
four kids, he's finally finding time to write. Living in Panama has given him
the opportunity to write freelance about retirement locations all over the
isthmus, and has even given him some time to work on his true
passion...fiction.
Mirror Images Book 1: The Darkness of Man is the first book
in a four part series. Originally written in screenplay format, Christopher
felt constrained trying to bottle up the entire story in 110-page scripts. Now
he's letting the virtual pen fly and loving every minute of it.
ABOUT THE BOOK
When an average Joe's reflection in the mirror switches
places with him, he finds himself trapped in
strange mirror world, battling his way back to the other side so he can
stop his reflection from destroying the life he knows. "Have you ever
wondered why so many people in prison claim to be innocent? It's 'cause most of
'em are," Dozier whispered. On the other side of the mirror, lies a
horrific world where each of us has an image, our violent replica, capable of
fulfilling our darkest desires, and only released into our world when we're
unable to follow through with an evil deed. Gabe Cutter, an average paper
pusher, has his life ripped out from under him when his image switches places
with him, hell bent on destroying the life Gabe knows, and killing his cheating
fiance. Now, stuck on the other side of the mirror, Gabe must join together
with a band of stranded survivors and find a way to get back to his world
before his image destroys it. Along the way he battles his way through maniacs,
monsters, and ultimately his own heart, as he realizes that the woman he's been
trying to save...wasn't worth the price of admission. ***BE ADVISED. THIS BOOK
CONTAINS FOUL LANGUAGE, STRONG VIOLENCE, AND SOME SEXUAL CONTENT. DON'T SAY I
DIDN'T TELL YOU SO***
