You worded this very succinctly and I think it's going to stick in my head.

I've dubbed it my Black Moment Day because I realized I couldn't write even one more word on my story until I got some things figured out. I brainstormed with the amazing Beth Vogt, cried a little (okay, cried a lot) and then asked myself some questions. Taking some of Beth's ideas, I spent time in prayer and journaling. God renewed my perspective and showed me steps to get out of the snarled tangle I was in. <br /><br />I've taken time to revamp my hero and am writing a synopsis of my story, something I should have done before I started writing. Then, I could have probably seen this knot coming and untangled it sooner. Sigh.<br /><br />But, I'm excited to get back into my story again with a clearer direction of where to go from here. <br /><br />You've given great tips here. I'm definitely coming back to review them.<br /><br />Oh, and sorry this is so long. :)<br />Jeanne Takenakahttp://jeannetakenaka.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392393277880937685.post-5139191126249538852013-08-19T06:51:01.782-07:002013-08-19T06:51:01.782-07:00I LOVE this, Pepper.

Over the weekend I worked on edits to my second book...I had to do quite a few of the things you mentioned here...especially stepping back and looking at the big picture and then u-turning off easy street. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620457068731162013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392393277880937685.post-56010539238370623832013-08-19T06:14:32.054-07:002013-08-19T06:14:32.054-07:00Awesome post today, Pep!!
