...is damned hard. I took a semi-writing-vacation for most of November thanks to a two-week trip to Italy followed by a bad cold followed by Thanksgiving. I'm not one of those people who can write when their sinuses are on fire.
So I'm out of practice. And before me lies a vast rewrite that should be fun. Instead it's, well, it's tough. I'm changing POV. I'm changing plot. I'm making up new characters...
I've got an outline, halleluya. And I know my main character very well. These things help. But many factors lie like massive walls and mud pits in an obstacle course before me.
The only way forward is to... write. Isn't it always the way? Write write write until you get your groove back. Write scenes that intrigue you rather than starting at the beginning if you like. Write character sketches and character interviews and rework your outline and then just fricking write some damned prose, for crying out loud.
Don't procrastinate by writing blog posts.
Ahem.
