Struggling to connect with your work-in-progress?⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Throughout the long process of writing a novel, it’s common to lose that sense of connection with your story at least a few times.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Try these easy tips to nurture, deepen, and reignite the connection whenever you feel it slipping:⁠⁣
⁠⁣
⇢ Create a mood board with images that capture the essence of your story, characters, and settings so you can tap into the magic of it on-demand.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
⇢ Create playlists with music that evokes the feel of your story as a whole, as well as music that is scene- or character-specific. Not sure where to start? Look up scores/soundtracks from movies/TV shows similar to your WIP.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
⇢ Explore your story's setting through travel vlogs, home tours, movies/TV shows with similar settings, and ambient music (like 'sounds of a busy coffee shop in the city').⁠⁣
⁠⁣
⇢ Connect to the emotion of the story by journaling as your characters or writing scenes that won't necessarily end up in the book but will help you explore your character's feelings and psychology.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
⇢ ⁠Check out other works that have the same essence as your WIP to help you get into the vibe and mindset of the story.⁠⁣
