And it turned out into my favorite ones by far! Keeping the fun aspect is important for sure. If we get to serious and think of this as a job, our brains would just wander off elsewhere. I'm glad you realized that during your break.
My writer's block affects the frequency rather than the quality. I have spurts sure, but I expected an overflowing torrent after A Day in the Clouds. I'm not dismayed though, it'll come. I'm just trying my best to nudge it along, doing a rain dance, if you will.
I think you'll be fine. Like you say, do a little rain dance, make an offering to the muse, whatever is require. Read, write, put it all down and forget about it for a bit. Pick it back up again, look out at the world, ask questions. Look at it like a child, like an alien, like a cat or a dog :) Whatever it takes. Ideas will throw themselves at you.
Yes! You took the words right out from my brain. That's exactly what I intend for this series to be :D
I look forward to receiving whatever wonderful reading experience comes our way.
Best to keep our eyes open always then!
