I was making quite a bit of progress but I feel like I’m really hitting a wall with writing at the minute.
I’ve written most of a first draft of a play. I write quite instinctively without too much planning. I used to think this was a problem/not the ‘right’ way of doing things. Recently on finding other people I admire who work this way too I have embraced this way of working and I do believe that my subconscious knows what it’s doing.
The problem is there is a lot of stuff that I have alluded to/balls in the air that I know I need to address in the play which I haven’t so far.
The negative thought I keep having is ‘I’m not going to be able to pull this together’. I know this is not helpful it makes me feel defeated and is actively blocking me from finishing the play but it keeps coming up like a nagging fear.
