Or a light at the end of hallway, but you need to take a few steps to reach it...
Thanks for this insight! I also wonder if dictation vs writing is also a step forward. And... would love to see something on how to choose character names, especially in historical fiction
Thanks Chris, I'd love for you to expand on the dictation v. writing point, if you feel like it.
A little exercise I recommend to release a block when you're a fair way into writing a novel is to take two of your characters and simply write dialogue - no tags no scenery no stage direction no nothing, just two characters talking. Sometimes writers are resistant to such exercises once a novel has begun but they can be a great release rather than a waste of time.
Thanks so much for suggesting a topic; expect that post soon.
