I have a plotted novella that I thought I might turn into a web serial. I started reading through my old notes last week and I remember why I abandoned the project &#8211; something just isn&#8217;t right with it. I&#8217;m not excited about the plot I ad worked out and if I&#8217;m not excited to write it, I can almost guarantee you that readers won&#8217;t be excited to read it.<\/p>\n<p>So I think it&#8217;s time to start from scratch. Take the initial story seed and try to come up with something different. I&#8217;ll keep the parts I like but maybe looking at it with fresh eyes will help me to find the story i want to tell.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping to get it worked out and have a viable plot so I can start writing it in July for Camp NaNoWriMo. Like I don&#8217;t have enough projects on the go&#8230;but my plan is to edit each segment and possibly start posting it to Wattpad. My goal with it is to get more people acquainted with my writing, since I&#8217;m a virtual unknown. Right now, I&#8217;m only a rockstar in my own mind \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2572\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=2572\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/postphotos\/divider3.gif\" data-orig-size=\"760,20\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"divider\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/postphotos\/divider3.gif\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/postphotos\/divider3.gif\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2572\" src=\"http:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/postphotos\/divider3.gif\" alt=\"divider\" width=\"760\" height=\"20\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/postphotos\/divider3.gif 760w, https:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/postphotos\/divider3-600x16.gif 600w, https:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/postphotos\/divider3-250x6.gif 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[su_note note_color=&#8221;#d6d1d9&#8243;]<strong>STOP IN THE NAME OF HORROR!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget&#8230;you can grab a free copy of <em><strong>Like Flies To Honey<\/strong><\/em> when you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paywithapost.de\/pay?id=22db0a23-0c5f-4018-84c1-e42df6535018\" target=\"_blank\">Pay With A Post<\/a> &#8211;
