I haven’t written a single word of my novel since August due to personal circumstances. Now that some of the fog is starting to lift, I’m looking forward to getting back to it.
However, I have been using the past three months to reflect on the current state of my novel and where I want it to go from here.
The first thing I will do is review what I already have, as I suspect my perspective has changed and I will be looking at it with fresh eyes. Starting again cold would be a mistake. I need to get back in the flow of writing it again.
How do you deal with large gaps in writing your stories? What gets you back into the groove?
