Don't know what's wrong, but I suddenly feel so disconnected from my WIP. Like it is no fun anymore. I'm 25k in, and this is usually the place I start to feel truly connected to my MCs. But today? All seems bleak.
@anderlandbooks Oh no! You'll get there, though. (Skipping ahead is a good idea, but I know I should do that myself and I haven't been able to make myself do it.)
Happens to me too. Especially around this time of year. Only thing that works for me is forcing my self into taking a week off in order to reunite after. Never fails to remind me what I like about my MC.
@anderlandbooks This happens. Stick with it. These disconnects are like storms: they blow in, they blow out.
When it happens for me, it’s usually because I’m not sure where the story is going. I can get back on track by looking at the big “tent pole” moments I’m headed toward. Sometimes, I skip ahead and write those — anything to keep the words coming — and then discover, in the process, what had gone wrong before.
