I’ve said before that I’m a plotter and not a pantser. So when my WIP encountered a logic fail, everything was full stop. Lights out for months and months and months.
Commence flailing…I mean, pantsing. Meandering. Wandering aimlessly. Opening WordPress only to start surfing. Facebook notifications. Off on tangents. Words with Friends. Cat videos. Everything but YouTube. Pencil tapping. Staple shooting. Margin doodling. New recipes. Furniture refinishing.
Somewhere along the way, I heard something about people only being able to believe in things they can see. An idea was born. Hundreds and hundreds of OneNote words later, a new notebook was in the making. Character profiles. Reference links. Worldbuilding rules.
The light was back on, and I could see where I was going.
Resume plotting.
