I’m running into a problem with my writing that I really hadn’t anticipated.…

I’m run­ning into a prob­lem with my writ­ing that I really hadn’t antic­i­pated. I’m writ­ing way ahead of sched­ule which means I haven’t actu­ally had the chance to plan out what I want to hap­pen next.

I’m about to fin­ish story num­ber 4 and I have no idea what story 5 is. :)

    Wish I had that issue, I am totally stuck.

    Hmm­m­m­m­mmm, this might be a wee bit out there, but if you’re way ahead of sched­ule, per­haps a step back and some plan­ning might be in order? :-P

    You could try leav­ing a place­holder and jump­ing ahead in your story.

    Gritty crime drama in Atlantis, under­wa­ter city of merfolk?

    I’m a lit­tle reluc­tant to lose my momen­tum though +Christie Can­non. The week­end is usu­ally the most pro­duc­tive part of my week. Which makes it about the worst time to just be think­ing about stuff.

    Yeah, I get it. Have you tried writ­ing off the cuff before, with­out plan­ning ahead?

    I actu­ally don’t plan very much. I usu­ally have an open­ing scene, a char­ac­ter and where it’s going to end up.

    But right now I have… a char­ac­ter and a hand­ful of unre­solved sub-plots that I don’t want to use this early on.

    Use em or lose em. Just write.
