Found a note from John Truby that writer’s block comes from not understanding the true structure of the story.
It will be interesting to see if my complete restructuring of the story this week gets me going again. It was amazing to see how the elements of the story fit into my new constructed plot outline so well and how the new structure changed everything about the story.
Things I thought were important faded into the background. Anna Jane came into focus in such an organic way. I never could find her before, and I always had the feeling I was making her up. By changing her initial motivation to its opposite, the whole journey fell into place. That is probably the single most important move I made, but sending Sam Fox to the cutting room floor has to be a close second. Radical moves. We’ll see.
