Tomorrow marks the end of our second week and means we will soon be moving into the third week of the challenge. It's often easier for some writers to start their stories and to wrap up their stories than it is to get through the middle of their stories. Well, never fear if you are new to this; previous ChaBooCha posts have you covered.
Listed below are some posts to help you get through this tricky middle ground:
What to do if you hate what you've written by Nancy Holder
How to write more - Tips and tricks for a quick first draft by Jo Hart

Writer's block or procrastination? by Jarm Del Boccio
What to do when you hate what you've written by Adam Wallace

If you have done this challenge before, you have probably already read the above posts, but it never hurts to get a refresher, especially if you are feeling stuck.
I hope you all find yourselves still completely motivated with active muses and no problems heading into your third week of writing.
Happy Writing!

ReplyDeleteLoved the post on Writers Block vs. Procrastination... I read about myself in that one! (Although maybe I should have been writing instead of reading!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this challenge! And the opportunity to win the Story Cubes!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this challenge!
ReplyDeleteI love the consistent answer to how to become a better writing is...write and read more.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the list of resources, Becky. I love your idea about taking a break from writing, which I usually do puttering around in my garden. I can’t wait for winter to be OVER with! We are expecting 12-18 inches of snow beginning tomorrow and going through Wednesday. Arrrrgh!!
DeleteThank you for your inspirational posts. I love the process.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the links. The middle is something I worry about so I'm finding these incredibly helpful! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful resources! Thank you for the links!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great resources, need to get back to writing now!
ReplyDeletethanks for the articles on writing the middle.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these amazing links to a wealth of information!!
ReplyDeleteThis post is a great midway milestone for me to use in reflection of my CB WIP. The additional posts provided are also great resources, so thanks for those reminders as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm skipping around to re-read and comment, and I just read Melissa Stoller's later post. She talks about skipping the middle, and coming back with a stronger idea of how to flesh it out after writing the ending. I've found that a perfect technique to get myself past the middle,too.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to catching up after a week of spring break!
ReplyDeleteThis is where I am right now. I started off gang busters, and know where I'm going, but this middle is tough.
