(Don’t) Panic!

It’s at this stage of writing I generally enter the blind panic stage.  With about a quarter of the first draft done its about now when I start to wonder if I’ve gone either a bit off track, or if I’ve ran away down an endless, pointless trail that leads precisely nowhere.

So, I’m busy trawling through what I’ve written, making a series of scribbles in my wee notebook.  The more I write, the more the panic starts to abate.

Then I can get back to letting my imagination  ( and characters) run wild.
