it's so special to me that connie got to be the one to look the physical manifestation of loneliness itself in the face and tell him to fuck off before he died. she really deserved to be allowed to do that

April let the sunshine in! I was able to get outside to write/outline often and it was so healing to do so, especially after dreary and difficult March. The true MVP of April has definitely been my white board. I have been using it make great progress, so much so, that I even bought myself a new mini one...my favorite tool now for sure!

This month was all about recovery and recalibration. I felt very "off" after being so sick and losing so much momentum on my project in March. I had to take a deep breath and a step back to see where to jump back into things. If March taught me anything, it's how much Follow Me means to me. I'm committed. That being said, looking at things with "fresh" eyes...I could see that I seemed to be stuck. Uh-oh.

What did I get up to?

Tried to get unstuck?? Oh boy. I had to be honest with myself coming back to outlining. Since this is my first time seriously outlining a novel, I have been testing out a variety of outlining methods. Unfortunately, no matter which one I tried...I found I could only plot up to the midpoint. I had half a story. Welp...

I zoomed in. I saw I was stuck and so I told myself, okay...I just need to generate new ideas. I will go back to what I do know and expand and hone that and hopefully that will spark something? So I did just that. I began writing scene cards on Reedsy Studio for all the scenes I had planned for ACT 2 A. "Living" in those scenes did help...but also raised more questions that I needed to research and answer. This brought me to a point where I saw I couldn't answer the questions being raised in ACT 2 without first revisiting ACT 1, so...

I went to an expert. I have been guided thus far by some of the best writers and editors on the internet, bless them for sharing their knowledge! This time I looked to Alex Sokoloff, screen-writer-turned-novelist. I had bought Alex's book, Stealing Hollywood, and was fascinated by her approach. Used Alex's book to walk me through ACT 1 a second time, asking myself questions as I went against the key points Alex marked as essential in ACT 1. What was missing? What was I doing well? I wanted to answer the questions I had raised for myself in ACT 2, so after finishing my second pass of the first ACT, I continued on, using the same process on ACT 2. Some questions were answered (yay!), and others still remain. It's possible they can't be answered until I learn more about ACT 2 B...which is where I am stuck.

What worked well?

Reading Alex Sokoloff's Stealing Hollywood. As I just mentioned above, Alex's book has been a huge help to me. I really seem to connect with her approach, which treats novel writing visually, as if you were creating a movie. That's exactly how my ideas show themselves to me, extremely visually...so I just super resonate with what I learning through Alex.

What was fun?

Using my white board :) I'm serious. I feel like a salesman, but: everyone should have one! lol! There's just something so freeing for my creativity being about to write messy and quickly across the board...erasing when I want, and moving on. I take pictures of what I come up with, and then start over. Works great!

What do I want to become great at?

Having a comprehensive strategy. I start, I stop. I go at something from one angle...then drop it in favor of another. My thoughts are random and scattered. I have ideas, but they are all out of order. Character development one day, plot the next. I am all over the place friends. It's hard to make visible progress this way...and my brain really wants the reward of visible progress. Instead of living in this 25% of everything mode, I really want to come up with a concise plan, or strategy if you will, for tackling the second half of my novel.

What am I grateful for?

The sunshine. I can't tell you how much of a difference the sunny days are making for me. It's been a long gray winter, to see real signs of spring gives me that light hopeful feeling in my heart...hey you actually can write a whole novel!

Mr. Loaf being my #1 fan. Every time I sit down to outline, every time, Mr. Loaf magically appears. As he sits and lays beside me, I imagine him cheering me on. His purrs of support were just what I needed this month, aw!

If you've read this far, please know how much your support means to me :) Send me a message or leave me a comment if there is anything I touched on here that you would like to know more about!

[peachybeesplease]

as a kid I didn't understand why adults would watch full broadcasts on the weather when you only really need to know the temperature and if it's going to rain but now I'm locked in on the news like damn....... you're telling me the wind speed is going to bring up a storm from the southwest?? you're telling me we're getting HOW many millimeters of precipitation???

can you blend blender, the 3d modeling program? i am not mad at it yet, but i most likely will be. also, blending blender is just funny.

(apologies if it's already been blended searching your blog for 'blender' just resulted in every single post on it ever)

Love imagining Buck and Eddie, best friends in love, having all the inside jokes. Like the ones where they can't even look at each other when they're reminded of it, because they know they'll be gone laughing for 10 minutes. (also they probably have some with Chris and that makes my heart so full)

OMG YEEEESSS

They are SO that type who one just says one word intentionally to the other and the other starts cracking up or someone else says something and they just look at each other and start laughing their asses off while everyone is so annoyed and they're just like
