Starting to claw my way back... over 16k words now! Hoping to reach close to 20k by the end of the day as DD is off with her Dad now for a few hours. Must. Stay. Motivated.

I think Sopdet's idea is pretty decent. It isn't the same but when I'm getting stuck I just start writing out my stream of conciousness about random topics and some of that stuff has been the best I have written. Every character needs little stories and opinions to help round them out, filler that helps develop who they are, making them relatable and giving them real thoughts type thing good to see you aren't giving up!

Read this the other day which I quite like; "Whether you think you can or cannot, you are right".
