B1P Day 250: Trying a Restart

OK, so last time, I said I was going to blow up my WiP and try to rewrite it from the beginning, being more free and less prescriptive in what I wanted my scenes to accomplish. I want to see if I’m even capable of writing that way.

Today, I opened a new Scrivener file and started my attempt. There was no magical flash of inspiration or sudden ability to write freely and fall into a groove, but that would have been ridiculous to ask, anyway. I’m still in the early stages of forcing myself to overcome my hesitancy and really sink into the writing, the way I used to be able to in my early days, before I started worrying too much about everything.

I’m trying to get that speed and relative freedom back. Trying to stop second-guessing everything I write but that’s not going to be easy.

One day at a time.

Take part in the journey!
