Stepping Back

There are some times that you need to take a step back from writing. This week and for the past three weeks, I have been a set designer/constructor/painter and have been putting in 7-13 hour days for at least six days a week. Today was tech weekend, which means that I needed to be in the theatre watching the musical from 8 to 10 with a small break in between.

So I was unable to write anything this week as we moved into the theatre and set up my massive set. However, I also have been struggling with not only writing, but being satisfied with my plot. So I am taking a break to reorganize Treeland and get it more intricate to my satisfaction.

With classes beginning and the musical performing this next week, I doubt I will have much time to write, but I will think. Plot has been always a weaker point of mine, at least I believe so, as opposed to characters and worldbuilding. But plot is vital. And so I will work on it this week.
