How’s It Going:
Finally, back on track.
I really thrashed to get to this point (including writing on Friday, which I was wanting to stop doing, but Monday…didn’t go quite as planned. Not in a bad way though), but thankfully it wasn’t nearly as painful as it could have been. I think what helped is I’ve finally managed to figure out a synthesis of sorts to all the different techniques I’ve learned these past few years. I’ve found there is a fine line between over and under outlining. I may have just struck gold on the sweet spot in the middle.
Needless to say, I have a vague idea where I’m going, and that satisfies my muse enough to write towards something, which in turn gives me the room to make my scenes longer, more descriptive. There’s a skeleton, a light structure to everything that I can hang my ideas on, instead of a complete building minus furnishings or…a large patch of empty land.
It’s honestly freeing, and the words are just flying.
As a side note, I also recently started dating someone, so I may be a little euphoric in general, to say the least.
