It’s Spring, time for new! Let’s start with planting fresh ideas for the plot challenges in your WIP. Pick one of the pages or paragraphs that needs attention. You know the section that drove you to the point of writing around it. Time to tackle it.
Highlight and copy that section into a fresh blank document. Below, brainstorm. Allow yourself to list every possible thing that could push the material forward. Every idea is valid. He joins the circus. Fine. They become hackers and move to a remote island that has high speed internet? Also, good. Fill that document with as many ideas as possible.
Review your options. Do any of them feel like they would correct your plot problem? If not, close the document and return to it tomorrow. Repeat the process as needed over the next two days.
On day four, pick a scenario that could lead somewhere. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Add it into the challenge area. Expand on it within the document. It may work or spark something that will.
Go, Write New Words!
