The backburner is a terrible place to be.
Alas, most writing projects over 10K that are living and breathing
without the driving force of a signed contract to bully them on end up there from
time to time.
Life happens and backburners are lit. It’s all part of the creative
process. The key is not to despair.
As my next novel The Hushing Days is once again forced to the rear
heating element, I thought it appropriate to take a moment to encourage those
writers facing the same consternation.
This is not the end of the world. The universe you’ve worked so
tirelessly to create in your story will still be there waiting for you.
Novels are incredibly patient creatures. As long as you stir them from
time to time and keep the heat under them nice and toasty, your storylines will
keep tremendously well at the back of your writing stovetop.
It’s an aggravating but a wholly
viable option in emergencies.
Bottom line: Trust the simmer.
Until tomorrow…
Chloe
