Seeking writing advice: Tropes vs writing block?
I've started writing bits and pieces for S.I. again, but not nearly at the rate I was writing before my hiatus.
I'm beginning to wonder if I should cheat a bit, and deliberately leave some of the details I'm having trouble getting myself to write about vague, and explain it away with some memory problems of Bunny-the-narrator for that period. Goodness knows there are plenty of ways Bunny's brain has been fiddled with so far, so it's not without precedent; and if it gets me over the hump and into full-scale writing again, it might be worth including the trope for that reason alone, let alone adding another mental issue to play with narratively.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Would it maybe help, if you left some of the details vague at first, to get back into writing, and go back later to rewrite those parts?
That seems to be the default that I'm settling on. I'm jotting down the plot points I want to happen in such sections, marking them so I know that I have to go back to that, and working on whatever I /can/ get myself to work on in the meantime.
