Due to external circumstances, I was unable to write for the specified time period. But that's neither here nor there.
To make a long story short, I was on a roll with my book up to that point. I was meeting up with my daily goals, keeping up momentum, and feeling the story in my head. Unfortunately I had to leave off writing for a while, and coming back to the story, it feels alien. I'm slowly making progress, just yesterday I finally wrote my daily goal of 2k again, and as of today, I've written half of that. However, I've had to force my self to sit back down and write.
I decided to rewrite the last three chapters I'd been working on because I took a wrong turn storywise. And I've rewritten one part of my outline to better suit the current version of my story. Yet it's still a struggle.
I'd chalk this up as Writer's Block, where it not for the fact that I'm just starting my Final Act. The last time I finished a draft, I recall that being the fastest and most exciting part of the writing process. But the slog I'm getting now is insane.
Now, I don't believe this is hopeless. I'm sure that if I continue to force myself down long enough, I'll get back into the groove. But I'd like to know if there's a way to make the process easier. My writing muscles haven't been stretched in a while. And it's showing in my work now.
I look forward to hearing from you!
