Finally, after almost eight months, a break though. That muse of mine...sheesh. Definitely has its own ideas of what I'm supposed to be writing. At the start of last semester, I was flying on a story about these warriors. I came to realize--through getting stuck--that something just wasn't working. So I stopped writing. I had no ideas of what to do.
Then I started writing with my accomplice on a different story. Because we had a deadline (April 17th) the story flew along and we finished. My muse helped me through it all, but when we were done I didn't know quite what to do. I could (and probably will) start the next book, but what to do when I'm out of college for the semester and she's not?
Then--inspiration! I had a much better way to format the warrior story now, so I started working on it last night. 14 pages in and a little research and I feel much more confident about this new draft. I went from first person to third limited, and from chronological to in medias res. All that's left is to write a storyline out and then I can go!
Way to sneak a Hercules reference in here, Cecy. I thought this was supposed to be a writing blog....how about posting an excerpt from Shay&Cassi?
ReplyDeleteThat's actually a pretty good idea! What part would be best?
