What was your writing challenge this week? I'm so rusty that plotting is not coming easily to me... for a while now I've been doing recaps of other people's plots and I've lost the ability to concoct my own! I had to go back and add a plot element to some earlier scenes so the later ones would work (literally a piece of Kryptonite), but hopefully it'll bump along better now...

My writing challenge this week has been time and brain. I'm back working full time in the office (boo~!) and it's sucking a lot more brain that I expected. And time. But I'm managing to get at least a few hundred words every day.

The short story challenge is still going, so that's good, but I've got 1 fanfic (Harry Potter year 3), a SF novel and a nonfic book on Auditing that are kind of bumbling along. I really want to finish things and just need brain and time to do it.

*sigh*

Good luck with the plotting! Remember, you can always go back and add more things to the plot. You're unstuck in time, grandly bouncing along through the timeline of your story and adding whatever you want to it whenever you see the need. :D

Yeah, we start with in-person classes for the first time in a year (masks AND plastic face shields required!) and that's going to take a lot out of me.

It's very frustrating to have a lot of things on the table and none of them seem to wrap up! I hope you were able to get some closure...
