WIPping it! - Gina Conroy

I’ve been stuck on editing the last 3o pages of my WIP for weeks. I was in the midst of the black moment and I ran out of steam. My words seemed dry and dull on the page when it was supposed to be one of the most exciting parts in the book. So I let it lie for a bout a week and did a little editing on the first part of the book.

Yesterday I picked it up, felt the creativity flowing, and got a little advice from friends. Now I’ve got a whole new plot twist and probably a couple more new scenes to add to my WIP! The thing keeps growing and growing, which is okay because I’m not quiet at 80,000 words yet.

But I’ve got renewed focused and some of my plot holes are filling up. Yesterday I was interrupted by Valentine’s Day parties at school so I didn’t get much writing done. But I hope to this weekend. My slump seems to be over and I’m so excited to be…excited about my WIP again!

So what are you working on this weekend?

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
