It’s close to a year since I made any posts on this blog.
I was going along quite well with my WiP, and then some really bad news hit me at the beginning of May. That wiped me out for writing until the beginning of August, and just as I was starting to pick up the threads of my writing again, more4 bad news swamped me.
It’s taken until now for me to get my head together enough to really focus and seriously turn my attention back to my writing. I’ve come to the conclusion that the potential plot hole I was trying to darn together was just too implausible, so I’ve spent some time this month nutting out ways to come at the plot differently without completely changing the story, and I’ve done that. But in doing so, I’ve changed enough that I need to rewrite the work I hd done at the beginning of last year.
In a way, that’s good because I have to go back and start writing again, which gives me a run up to keep going when I get to the point where I broke off before. But on the other hand, that’s 16K words I have to scrape together again! Ah, well. Nothing written is ever wasted. It’s all training!
I’m also having a slight dilemma in that I may want to “rebrand” myself. My life has changed so drastically in the past nine months that I’m not the person I used to be. I think I want to put a new stamp on myself to help me feel like I’m focusing on my future and standing strong as I come out of 2021.
