New story - untitled

What do I do when I can't get further than the first chapter in an already planned book? Write another one. It wasn't my fault (you know who you are...!) this new idea. And I'm not even sure it'll be enough of a plot to make any kind of length, but I wrote 10 pages. Way more than poor Morganna has.

I feel bad for her, but what can a writer do? The muse is a fickle, fickle creature.

Stalled

Chapter 1 is still all I have finished. I've tweaked it. I've fiddled with it. I've looked at it again and again, waiting for inspiration on chapter 2 but nada. It's depressing.

So I've decided to put it aside for a bit and relax this weekend. I'll keep some paper and pencils with me in case I get a flash of brilliance for the ongoing plot. Which is part of the problem, I have plotted it out. The words just aren't coming. I'm hoping a break will let them flow a little more freely and I can get back in the groove.
