Writing is hard, there's no doubt about it. It doesn't always flow, no matter how much you write. I'm on the second draft of my novel, have the bones of the story, but can I get past the bit I'm adding?

Nope, but that's what I love about being a writer. Some times it's frustrating but I know at some point the ideas will flow like a tap once again.

I'm also thinking outside of writing about Bumpkinton, my main out for writing.

I have a children's story in the planning about a boy called Dean Hargreaves and I have some pieces lying around which scream "Write me!!" but I'm yet to come up with some meat to add to the bones of those stories.

I will though and it will flow, then not, but that's what being a writer is about. Carrying on when it's not working and making your work the best it can be.
