I’m finally — FINALLY — beginning to creep back into my usual routine of writing during the day. Today it was really working on gaming out scene summaries for the first chapter of the novel.
It helps that I really know this novel in a macro sense really well. The problem has aways been the more micro, granular stuff that has bogged me down. But, in general, I’m moving pretty fast.
I really pleased with that. It’s nice that I’ve finally unblocked my creativity and I’m back to doing what I should be doing — writing. I also need to start working on reading and watching more, as well.
But, in general, I’m just pleased I’m writing again. As I’ve written before, I’m leaning more into scifi elements of the novel that were already there. I’m trying to use AI as something to hang some interesting elements of the new version of the novel on — even though the novel is set about 25 years in the past.
