The concept is sound, I thought. I would use April to launch my novel writing
project. Now April 20, 2015, I am less
sure. The outcome is not what I
expected. The plan that I expected to
outline hasn’t happened. The start point
has not emerged. Planning may just well
be another term for procrastination.
I know what’s going on. It’s fear – plain and simple that has me
stalled. And the cure for that is to
begin. I have no plan but I don’t need
one. Many of my stories have been
written without a plan as I use the D&D method. Discovery and Decisions in turn has served me
well in the past. And many of my stories
have been written without a plan.
One of my writer friends describes
writing as involving bum glue -place butt in chair in front of the writing
project and work. I have heard the
advice ‘Stay in the room’ -work through the difficulties. So here I go:
in the room and on the chair.
