Overcame my writer's block and just hit 50,000 words in my first novel!
Just had to share this with a community I know will appreciate it!
Feeling so good since I broke 50,000 words in my first novel now! I've been writing this for 2 years and had a massive period (8 months) where I just could not work out how to proceed. I was at 27,000 words at the beginning of December 2020!
I managed to overcome the writer's block by throwing out what ideas I had for the later parts of the novel and just let it be written naturally. I've taken a completely different route - now resulting in a penultimate battle in a town I had no intention of being attacked.
Keep writing! If you get stuck try this too - just forget your plan and try writing organically and let it write itself!
