I’ve always found getting back into creative pursuits is the hardest part. When you’ve gotten past that stage where you’ve built the habit, it’s natural to just create every day. But then you miss a day. Then another project gets in the way. And suddenly going back is like pushing over a brick wall without any tools.
Of course, there’s a cool rush when you really do get past that.
Plotting
I may have finally stumbled upon a plot bunny worth it thanks to something I was writing just to have said I was writing during a #ROW80 sprint. No details yet, but it’s picking up an older project from a slightly different perspective. I kind of like the concept.
Writing
I’m on target for the last two days. Actually, last night I quadrupled my daily goal and have already beaten my weekly goal! Hopefully I get to keep things up.
Job Search
Haven’t had a chance to get out this week, but the plan is to head out today to check local jobs for the ‘meantime.’ Here’s hoping!
Reading
Only did a little reading since Sunday.
Oh, and I don’t think I’ve broken through the wall yet, but it’s definitely getting easier.
I definitely know what it’s like trying to push over that wall. Only now am I finally getting to the point where it’s budging.
When I did the daily blogging thing last semester, it was a great feeling to get past that ‘ugh, I don’t want to do it. . . I dunno what to talk about’ into the point where I opened my editor and was writing before I allowed myself to get blocked.
Sounds like you’re making great progress. I had the same realization about a wip a while back. changed a little bit of the plot line and revamped a character and suddenly the novel was breathing again. Good luck on meeting this weeks tasks and your job hunt
Definitely working on it. Can’t wait to see the end result of this round.
Now I’m hoping I have dozens of plot bunnies, hopping through my dreams tonight. I’m glad to hear you’re finding inspiration in an old idea. I have a couple sitting in cold storage until the right perspective comes around. Have a great rest of the week!
Thank you, and I only discovered the old project because I was organizing my computer directories. Now I have a bunch of plot notes on a number of different ideas I can poke and prod.
Thanks for stopping by.
