What has helped you to combat sagging middle syndrome?

At the moment, I'm currently sporadic with when creativity hits and when I have time to write. However, I do notice that I do get creative and prefer to write at night. I get too distracted to write during the day and the kids in the apartment are really noisy during the day. Also, the short story that I'm currently writing has been written at nighttime. Literally stayed up till 5 AM writing it. Lol!

Past tense or present tense? I prefer to read and write in the past tense. It just feels more natural to me as I find the present tense to be jarring. Back then when I first started writing my first manuscript, I kept bouncing back and forth between past and present tense not paying much attention until my creative writing professor pointed it out. Lol! I hadn't realized the inconsistency and that I needed to be consistent in my tenses.  🤭

For me, I'm revisiting my outline and in the process of creating a storyboard. What's your next step for your WIP in December?

I don't know about favorite, but the majority of my WIPs, including my current one, is told in first person, but my historical fantasy WIP is told in third person limited shifting, where I shift between two characters, but the thoughts and viewpoint each time I shift are only limited that one specific character at a time. And when it comes to reading, I like first-person and I like third-person. I'm not super picky when it comes to reading.

Good morning!!! 🌞 

Character-driven or plot-driven?

For me, I prefer to read and write character-driven stories.

What about you? 

🤔😉🤭

I love them both. For my current WIP, I have a standalone prequel and two spinoff series in line.

What are your plans and writing goals for November?

For me, I plan on writing out at least 1/3 of my manuscript regardless of whether or not I win NaNo.

I'm also a plotter, so navigating my story should run more smoothly than when I tried to plants my way through it.

I will definitely come out with a post soon detailing my outlining and planning process of my WIP, so stay tuned for that.

Here's to wishing you all happy writing!!! ^^
