What if?
What. If.
I brainstormed an alternate plot line for my novel that could make all the difference. Actually, brainstormed is too strong of a word. It was more like I stumbled upon a fleeting, tangential thought at an unexpected moment. It was entirely unintentional. I have no idea how and why it came to me when it did. But it did.
And it might be brilliant.
It also could be a total stink-bomb of an idea, but that’s beside the point. The point is…this randomly sparked light bulb shone for a moment long enough to inspire me re-write and finish the first book I wrote this past year. The one that has been on pause for months, floundering due to a story line that just wasn’t right.
Today, I may have uncovered the key to make it right.
There is much work to be done. Research. Outlining. Cutting and chopping. Re-writing. And always my favorite: storytelling.
Best news I’ve read in quite a while!!! And I think I had told you that this is what happened to me with my “first” book, which ended up being my second, of course.
Sometimes, you just know it’s not right and you have let them lie for a bit, and that’s when the magic happens! (When you’re not putting all that pressure on your brain!)
