Bewitched, boggled and... now what?

From Emma Darwin's blog This Itch of Writing:

Bewitched, boggled and... now what?

Emma begins:

I suspect that for every writer at York who was radically re-structuring their novel before they even got to the station, there's another who left York feeling decidedly boggled.

And she continues with the wise and, at the moment, for me, much needed advice

I'd suggest that you give yourself a break. Don't rush to try to Do Things with your work ... don't let the IC [Inner Critic] impose euthanasia on the WIP [Work in Progress?]. Even if you feel that it's a fairly clear decision between Give Up or Major Surgery ...

... paint something (a picture, or a wall), make bread, go for walks with a friend who knows nothing and cares less about writing

I'm off to make a coffee. It's a start.
