Stared at the computer for hours last night before giving up. I’m having trouble reconciling my character (downhill skier) with my genre (fantasy). I know there are hundreds of ways to make it work, but I feel very constricted. This is the first time I’ve really struggled to pull a good idea out of my prompts.
I wrote 700 words today but it feels a bit like I’m tiptoeing around the story as i write. Like if I type too loudly the idea will get scared and run away. I’m just hoping something will click and I’ll suddenly be inspired. I know how it begins and ends, but there’s a gigantic hole in the middle of my story. I have a feeling that’s where the good stuff is hiding!

There is always one, so I figured I'd just start it so I can go play chess with my wife... I know where, when, what, and kind of who. Being a little self-aggrandizing like I am it's set in the same universe as the really big stories that have consumed me for the last couple years, but in the future. Which means I can use this as the basis for another chapter in that future history, with different characters. Opening paragraph is written, probably not done. Still need an outline, but I know where it's going, which means likely a first draft later tonight (after chess) or tomorrow. Edit next week. Turn in on Sunday, hate myself on Monday. Better than last year, in other words.
