Hitting the wall

I’ve heard that when people run marathons, there comes a point when they hit what is known as the ‘wall’ – the point at which it suddenly becomes very difficult and the only thing really that is keeping them going is sheer determination. If NaNoWriMo is the writing equivalent of a marathon then I’ve now hit the wall. Writer’s block has hit, the plot seems flimsy, every word is a struggle and the only thing keeping me going is sheer stubbornness and the desire to complete the challenge no matter what. My word count has dropped – need to find inspiration fast!
