Right when I was getting to the super frustrated point where I just sort of force myself to write, I came up with a pretty good idea, I think. First up, going with my original thought of picking up where I left off last time. Second, it’s festival season, and it’s about time another festival reared its ugly head.
So I am 100 words into this week’s endeavor, which is pretty much where I was last week at this time. And this week, I don’t have an impromptu poetry project sprung on me. (Don’t get me wrong about that, it was super fun, and I need to do more of those in the future.) So, I went from feeling utterly discouraged and lacking the focus to even begin another episode, to kind of excited about where this week’s journey will take my characters.
It’s all about perspective, I suppose, and overall, when it gets rough, it really is best to just keep going.
