I’ve come across a new problem.
I started a new manuscript and I used a method I learned at a recent conference. It was designed to prevent writer’s block because you own the path the story is going. It sounded good to me, a panther at heart.
But I find my self writing a sentence, maybe a paragraph and having my brain go blank.
Is it the story, the scene, or me?
Have I developed ADD in my menopausal years? Or have my brain cells short-circuited? Do they spark and sputter and die?
Perhaps the story is just not that interesting…

Perhaps it is just a brain fart.

Thanks Mary. I will. It just seems like I’m writing underwater lately.

When that happens to me I write the character instead of the plot. I pick up the character and put them somewhere else. Could be a laundromat, a frat party, a car accident, maybe a chance meeting at a bar, etc and just use it to grow the character until I get the thread back. Not sure if this is just me meandering and I should be more disciplined, but it works for me.

I could be just writing the wrong story – I should concentrating on a different one. We’ll see. This story is part therapy, part revenge.
