I suppose it was going to eventually happen. With a cross between being exhausted from hormones and just being plain exhausted by growing a human my writing mojo has really suffered.

Now I am at the point where I desperately want to get back into it but don’t know where to start.

I know I can’t be the only one to ever feel this way. Especially with the baby stealing all those brain cells it feels like.

Maybe a mental recap might help.

Where abouts was I?

Well I stopped in the later third of the first draft so the to do list feels a bit long for my liking. However, that being said it probably has a massive impact that I left it on a scene I am not 100000% sure how to write or how I want it written.

So how could I get back into it?

I suppose that is a million £ question. I might try re reading the last chapter, look at the notes I currently have for the chapter I need to write and go from there.

What do I really want to be writing right now?

Honestly I think I wan to write a bit of book 2 for the big project. I might actually make that the reward for finishing draft one and having a brief go at draft 2 to make it look a bit prettier. Then I could give myself a little break from it and write some of draft 1 of book 2 on the big project as a reward, maybe a few chapters.

Do I have an idea of writing plan?

Oh I could make one of those? That’s not the worst idea to be honest. I could plan what’s left for this project. Tick off some “reward chapters” and then plan the spin off to the project I am working on.

Yes I said spin off. I have an idea for a side character to get their story told a little.

What about querying?

Well, lets get draft two and an early beta or two in so that when I attack the next drafts I will know what I am really going to focus on.
