Everything was as it should be for my writing time (phone, earphones, music without lyrics), and I even had a seat. I also had 25000 words already in several files (this is a novel, obviously) a main character, fun scenario (post-apocalypse! fun!), a strong conflict, and then a mind full of mud. The main character suddenly seemed motionless, the scene dead, and the plot sinking into quicksand. There's still a book here that I'm writing, but it's... about...

I'll return to it tomorrow. I left myself a clue this morning. The last words I added to the document were... something helpful, I think... but it will get kicked further down the road, into a new scene, one with an immediate conflict and the introduction of a new environment for the protagonist to stagger through.

So, what am I working on? Keeping my head above water.(less)
