Her fear of having lost her passion for writing wanes and she finds herself writing more consistently. Her progress forward does not hide the struggle it’s taken her to get that far. Morning after morning she let slip by precious writing time. She’s intrigued by the story as it appears in her head. The problems cut on the edge of nearly personal, making the anticipation of writing certain scenes difficult and easier to ignore. Often as she follows the prompts in The Plot Whisperer Book of Writing Prompts: Easy Exercises to Get You Writing she can’t always remember exactly what she’s already written.
All of these problems arise in her quest to forge forward rather do as she’s always done when writing her other stories by continually slowing herself down, going back and refining. She knows she has something in her story and is excited to read it and refine when she’s accomplished her goal of writing it all the way through to the end first.
She feels differently writing this story than when she wrote the others. The leap of faith feels further and positioned directly over a canyon of sharp rocks and shallow water. Granted her word count increases everyday she does write. Her story is full of conflict and excitement from following the prompts and from completing exercises in The Plot Whisperer Workbook: Step-by-Step Exercises to Help You Create Compelling Stories.
