Sad day:
I’ve decided to trunk VINTAGE. I just don’t think I’m doing the plot justice. I’m sad because I love the characters, but I’m just not feeling where it’s headed.
Happy day:
I have three (maybe four) new ideas that are churning and I feel I have a better grasp on the plot with them. This is happy news! The first, I already have in my ‘What I’m Writing’ category (DELILAH WAKES). However, I think I’m going to focus on one that has a paranormal spin before I tackle the other full board (THE DEVIL’S UTOPIA). This makes me happy!
So, that’s where I am in my journey. It’s really sad to trunk well over 100 pages of work, but it’s for the best. Maybe I’ll revisit it one day. Who knows? But until then, I have a lot of things to occupy my mind! Woot!
I always feel terrible when I have to trunk a WiP I’ve worked so hard on. However, it is best to focus on one you love and know more about. And you can definitely go back to it later!
Good luck!
Trunking something is so hard! But I think you have to move where the writing spirit is taking you. Okay, that sounded way more pooky-pooky than I meant it! Good luck with the new ideas! :)
Thanks guys. I’m sad about it, but excited at the same time, so that tells me I’m making the right decision. And I don’t think I’ve heard the phrase ‘pooky-pooky’ before. I like it! :D
