I've been uninspired to do anything today but mope and whine about how my writing career is dead in the water. Right now I'm sitting at the ol' Mac stalling because Bad Joke is fast turning into Worst Joke. I think the element I'm missing (you know, other than believable plot, engaging dialogue and overall entertainment value) is relationships. People and their relationships cause conflict and right now there is no conflict. In fact, my poor characters are simply passengers on a slow moving plot locomotive and are reciting lines- not speaking to one another.
I need to get off my lazy chocolate ass and write. My characters didn't ask to be created; I created them. And if they must speak, the least I could do is give them something to say.
