Finally just started writing Ghostlander again.
I waited a couple of weeks for plot ideas to come to me, and nothing really arrived. So I had to weigh the cost of starting off without a plot in mind (thus the danger of writing myself into blind corners) versus waiting too long to get writing. (The longer I wait, the harder it is to start.)
I decided yesterday I needed to go forward without a roadmap, into unexplored territory, and just hope that my subconscious will find a way.
The thing about ghost stories, I decided, is that they are fundamentally illogical. What happens is disconnected from the real world by definition.
What counts in a ghost story is atmosphere, I think. I believe I've got an approach that will work there.
So I'm going forward with my 2000 words a day pace, and keeping my fingers crossed that all the elements come together.
