Writing Brain Dump: December 5, 2025

Happy Friday, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here. I haven’t done a writing brain dump in a few weeks. I’m still going through the slog of editing the Rustbucket novel on a macro level, but I’ve hit a wall.

Truthfully, I’ve struggled to make much headway with the project. There are multiple reasons why. I distracted myself with holiday cleaning. I may not have made much progress with the Rustbucket novel, but my house looks and smells amazing. I may not have completed a single task I wanted to in November, but my study is so organized.

I feel stuck in Monty Python’s “Cheese Sketch.” My cheese shop is the best in the region. Why do you say that? It’s so clean. It’s certainly unsullied by cheese.

Distractions aside, I can’t get out of my own head, and that’s the real cause for writer’s block. So, I’m recommitting myself to my writing schedule. I may put the Rustbucket novel on hold for a short time and begin a new project. Who knows? Something I write during this project could provide the fuel I need for Rustbucket.

I’m not going to include any writing tips or tricks I’ve been using, because I hit a wall. Maybe I’ll dirty up my organized study with some writing, and I’ll have something more to share in a couple of weeks, when hopefully, I’ll post another writing brain dump.

I hope you all had a great Novel November. Thank you for reading, and keep writing.
