Cat Sirota The sequel to Forgiving Darkness, titled Embracing Light. As of Nov 2024, I am 65k words in and need to get to about 100k.

I've got plans for another two fantasy romance series and one contemporary romance standalone. A basic plot of characters has been done for the first fantasy romance series, with the other two just well thought out ideas at this stage.
Cat Sirota Form a routine, put dedicated time aside for writing, plotting (or not), admin, etc. I know it sounds boring but that it how I manage to fit everything in...otherwise I'd achieve nothing.
Cat Sirota Take a break and do something different that has your mind unfocused on the story at hand. Another technique that I haven't tried yet but want to is to think of something so wild in the story, something completely left field (that would create a massive plot hole), and work back from there. By doing this, I'm told that it can help overcome your current challenge.
