I lost my momentum in December. I had a long conversation with a friend that made me rethink my WIP. I think the end result was worth it (I figured out a lot of science for the book and improved my POV character), but it stalled me. Then I got sick. Then there was Christmas. Momentum, gone.

But ultimately, writers … write. I get annoyed when I’m not writing. So I got back to it, figured out what I needed to, and got back to work. What do you do when you stall? Got any tricks to get yourself back in the groove?

To my surprise when I complied the stats, October was a decent writing month. I’m over a third of the way through the novel both in word count and in content. I’m not doing NaNo, but I’m hoping for an even better November. To those doing NaNo: Good Luck!
