I keep getting stuck on the plot of my new WIP. Character backstories and vibes are feeling okay (I say now…) but the plot!

My roadblock, I’ve determined, is that I just wasn’t that interested in it. Not that it wasn’t interesting, but that it wasn’t my kind of interesting. I didn’t want to write it. Which is a bit of problem.

But it was also freeing to realize that and give myself permission to rethink it from the beginning. I did that last night and am exploring a new direction. It’s not baked yet, but I felt some flow while I journaled it out.

It’s all part of the process. So I tell myself. But it’s an important lesson to remember when I get stuck writing … it’s all made up. I can change it whenever I want.

With Love,

Natalie
