Yesterday, family day took us to the beach which set off lightening bolts in the idea part of my brain. Both WiPs thundering their thoughts.
Change of scenery can cause a new brainstorm. Yesterday proved that. I've been thinking of a certain setting for WiP#3 but now that may change. Everything started to fall into place as I sat on the beach watching the ocean and feeling the breeze. It looks like that's where it may take place.
Weather has an influence on my writing too. WiP #1 takes place in the winter. So, I think that's why revisions are going slow. My CPs are keeping the ideas going though--the brainstorming sessions are priceless. After some feedback, stuff has been flying around in my head to the point of dizziness. Plus my MCs for WiP #1 are really vocal and will not stop repeating scenes in my head. (I'm not crazy, right?).
WiP #3 didn't have a specific season but as of yesterday summer could work very well. The characters really showed themselves to me and it looked good. I think I may try and outline this one. We will see how that works out because I'm a panster.
Does weather (seasons) influence your writing?
Have you tried to change your appraoch to starting a WiP? (ex.if you are a panster have you tried to outline?)
Another short one. Have a great weekend!
