Writer's Block

Technically, I didn't write a word for my NaNo project yesterday. Instead I typed up quotations from The Collected Works of Ted Hughes.

Sylvia Plath was married to Ted Hughes, and her book, The Bell Jar, is the inspiration for my NaNo project. So I've decided to use quotes from his poetry at the beginning of each chapter.

Since my novel's theme is the Meandering Flooded Stream, I am using quotations about rivers, streams, and water in general. It is a fascinating exercise, looking for these quotations. It also gives me ideas how to weave the stream thread throughout the novel.
