So a funny thing happen to me today. There's this story I've been working on for a while but haven't touched in months. I hit a snag with this scene I just couldn't seem to write. No matter how I worded it, it just didn't seem to fit. So after taking several months away from it, today I decided to just delete what was bothering me and just roll right into it with a new scene and it seems to be working just fine now ;)

looking forward to the net chapter.


Stupidity is a capital offense. A summary not indictable.

Goody!

Looks like you found a new spin on it!

Is this Clownfish?

Please tell me yes! I've been wanting more of that story for, well, several months :P

No not

Clown fish unusual as it may seem, but if you read the bold text of the blog entry the story title becomes clear

Not yet but I'm hoping soon. Its like throwing a bunch of balls in the air, you can't catch all of them at once lol.

Ohhhhh

I actually have to admit I forgot that one. Oops? Oh well, it's another good one, so I'll enjoy it too.

Congratulations!

I'm having trouble with a story myself, and it may mean that I'll have to almost completely rewrite the dominant section. (Sigh...)

Meanwhile, I'll look up what the bold section refers to.

Nice! It's a good feeling

Nice! It's a good feeling when you can come back to something after a time and it just starts to work :)


Hugs from British Columbia! :D

Addition by subtraction!

Addition by subtraction!

I am thrilled that you found your muse after you excised a festering sore from your work...ok that was a bit much but the way you describe it that thing was dragging your confidence down and if it was useful in any way it would have worked out earlier so it's best left down the digital drain with you having a new crack at your story without that problematic piece.

First Kat Walker comes back with a great installment and now you give us a teaser! I am hoping it's the end of hibernation season, this is going to become very interesting very soon with so many great series going on :)

That's how I'm probably going to resolve the troubles I'm having with the sequel. That probably means I'm going to abandon the backstories completely.

I had a similar problem

I had a similar problem with a confrontation between the antagonist and the protagonist that I couldn't seem to write. So I skipped past it, wrote a couple filler chapters with other characters then came back -- and dodged the confrontation with a description of off-camera avoidance by the protagonist. It's cheating on the cliffhanger I set up but my beta-readers didn't seem to notice. :) This also establishes that the protagonist is smart enough not to do something stupid which ties into the next crisis.

So, I am well past that spot and was at another hang-up: how to motivate the protagonist to do something stupid when we've already established that this is one character who thinks things through. So again, I avoided writing the crucial scene by jumping to the side characters. Now I'm ready to come back to it and I know that the protagonist's motivation to do something stupid is the emotional crux of the whole story! Chewing the scenery is one of the things I do best so this won't be that hard to write. :)

Moral: Never write the hard parts until you are ready to do so. Because if it is hard to write, there's something you might not have thought of yet.

Hugs,

Yes... It is a huge problem...

... To let something to happen to protagonist (s)he has to do something stupid. Like arm yourself with fly swatter and go to investigate strange noises from the basement right after strange meteorite fell down next to your home...
And 99% of the movies are based on that kind of mindless stupidity...
Good thing is - people tend to do stupid things. Even "baraniacs". So if your protagonist does something stupid from time to time it just shows her/his being of a homo sapiens species :-)

Missing you

I am a big fan of your writings and have been missing you , I hope your writers block is coming to and end so you can get back to spinning out more great stories HUGS
