So post titles are still not my thing. 😅
More relevantly, or not so relevantly maybe, I am still in a sort of "muddling through it" phase in my writing. I alternate between being full of enthusiasm and being completely unsure how to continue or what to write. Frustrating, but it just sort of moves along at its own pace, so I guess it's fine? (Frustrating in a different sense is my ever-growing realization of how much I use "just" as a crutch word in my writing. I try to notice as I'm writing and replace it with "only" or "merely" or "simply," but I fear that's treating the symptom rather than the disease...)
On the plus side, I did just yesterday finally get past a scene in my current massive rewrite project that had been blocking me for weeks. So that's at least something? (Better still, there's very little between where I am and the climactic showdown with the remarkably undeveloped villain of the week. 😅 So at least the end is in sight, I suppose?)
I feel like I don't ever have much to say that would even interest anyone, let alone potentially help them get through any of their own problems. 😰 But if I didn't have the IWSG posts to write, I might go six months or more without making any blog posts at all, so... 😰
Yes, sometimes writing at your own pace works. I'm glad you got through a challenging scene.
ReplyDeleteYou can't edit what isn't on the page... something like that. So keep writing. Keep trying.
ReplyDeleteYou never know what might interest someone else. It's impossible to know if someone else has faced a situation similar to yours, or felt feelings like yours, if no one is given the opportunity to find out. We're all alone until we find out we actually aren't. Or each snowflake is unique, but snowplows are all pretty similar.
Happy IWSG day! I'm co-hosting this month.
