So it's been over a month since I've updated. I was actually making decent progress through most of June until a combination of being busy and being stuck ground my writing to a screeching halt a few weeks ago. I feel like I'd had a similar issue back when I forced myself to write and pushed out something I was unhappy with and unable to work from. I fixed that rather promptly by just deleting the bad stuff and starting anew.
This time though it's different. Everything was going nice and smoothly, everything was coming together well and then it just stopped. I felt like the direction I was going was utterly wrong, despite it being what I had originally planned and needed to happen to progress the story. If the scene were any less important I'd scrap it completely and be done with it, but alas it's like one of the first big plot points.
So I'm thinking I'll judt reset the scene and try it again. That's my last resort.
The other thing I was thinking of trying was making the story from the perspective of multiple characters and not just Deflorin. I don't know how well this works though... I haven't read too many stories done that way. A Song of Fire and Ice does it pretty well, and I remember Gotrek and Felix did it but I wasn't a fan of it. If I did it it'd still be like 65% 'Florin, 35% others, and only really when I feel a scene could be convened better from another perspective. Well that and it'd give you more insight into some characters/give important plot info without letting Deflorin know it. It feels like it would need to be done somewhat sparingly to not be all over the place, but if you don't do it a lot what's the point? Plus I'd need to go back and re-write a couple of scenes that I was kinda iffy about to make them from a different POV and improve them.
Anyone have oppinions/insight about this? I'm genuinely stumped.
