Observations on Jump Starting a Long Stalled Fic
I may have to set a goal of once a week for posting, at least until I get into some kind of rhythm again. No great loss to you all, I'm sure-- you have plenty else to clutter your f-list.
One thing that I noticed tonight was how over the last couple of months, when I have tried to restart "In Loco Parentis", is how I will write along, and then at the end of a section, some new twist will end the section-- a cliffhanger, out of the blue, apropos of nothing.
I'd love it if anyone on my f-list has had that experience when trying to get back into an old work (one left for over 6 months or a year.) I'd love it even more if you have suggestions for how to overcome it. I have some good notes from 2008 Nano about how this story should go and end, but I can't seem to get back into that space now.
But I'll go back now and try, anyway. Peace to all, and thanks for the warm welcomes back.
