So, as you can tell, I hit a 1-chapter writing spree and then got stuck again. I had to force myself to look at all of my writing and ask: Why isn't this working? After many a Google search and YouTube videos the answer hit me. My plotting process sucks. My vague plot outline and poor character planning leaves too many uncertain gaps and no way to get to where I need to go in my novel. So guess what? I'm starting it over. The whole thing. I'm going to take my plot and start from square one. I downloaded a new, free writing software called yWriter to help me in my detailed outline and character planning. So I am going to get rid of all the stupid clichés in my novel, starting with the opening dream sequence, and completely revamp my story to professional level writing while still keeping the same generic plot. I'm going to make characters so vivid and alive that they will seem like real people. I'm going to add more conflict and detail where it needs to go in order to move the story forward. No scene will go unwarranted. No word unscrutinized. No sentence untouched. I am ready to enter a new realm of writing where many professionals have gone. I WILL FINISH THIS BOOK, AND IT WILL BE A MASTERPIECE.

IT WILL BE THE WORLD'S NEXTBESTSELLER IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.

Look out world.

Peace out,

Writing Again

1 min read
Howdy strangers! I know I haven't posted anything in a while, but I kind of hit a wall with my writing and didn't know what to write next. It was kind of discouraging, and of course college and life gets in the way too. But for some reason, yesterday I got the itch to continue my first manuscript of my novel. So good news! I'm writing again! I'm not going to make any deadline promises though because it's always slow while starting up again after a long time away from it.

School's Out!

1 min read
Yeah, that's right! School's out for the summer and it is time to get some FANTASTIC rays of sunshine and to drink that creativity in and pour it back out onto paper! I have Chapter Six of Imperfection ready to type up it's just a matter of finding the motivation to sit there and rewrite everything, which is boring when I could be writing something new, like Chapter Seven. ;p Yes I know I promised Chapter Six to be up sooner, so I apologize about that but life happens sometimes, especially during the school year.

Thank You For Your Patience and Support

Hello All!
So today I had a blood test done because I've been sick for over a month now, and SURPRISE! I have mono. So this means LOTS of downtime on doctor's orders. The silver lining on this nasty untreatable virus is that this means more time to do things that are not physically strenuous, or in other words it's like a prescription for trudging on with the first manuscript of my novel. Hoping to have Chapter 6 up for you guys soon!
Sincerely,
Tricia<3
