I've been stuck at the plot point into Act 3, pushed through it but now don't think it's working quite the way I want it to, so will need to go back to that point and modify a few things and hopefully fix the nagging problem.John Sankovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09997285299003496458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718053304784119853.post-66862788191677043312011-06-06T07:37:31.775-07:002011-06-06T07:37:31.775-07:00Hey john!

Frustrated writing, just trying to work out the problem, usually isn't very good writing. At least not for me. Sometimes it's good to take a break and maybe just read for pleasure. Don't even think about your story. Another thing I like to do is to go back to page one and start reading. Fix small things if you want, but try not to edit found much. Just read. Re-discover things you love about the characters and plot, make note of things that aren't working, and I bet you'll also start to notice things that you hadn't originally intended to develop or that could be taken in different directions. Hopefully that will give you some ideas.<br /><br />Also, I had a moment last week where some ideas struck me about your story and I haven't had enough time to put them to paper (or screen lol) but I'll definitely get back to you by the end of this week!J.
