March – The Magic Of The Messy Middle
Month 3
Hello Writer
This year, I want to focus on the most common challenges we face as writers.
Every month, along with a prompt for every day, I’d like to share an exercise that helps us deal with challenges like writer’s block, perfectionism, procrastination, and imposter syndrome.
Getting started
We tend to want stories to start at the beginning, and that’s where many writers get stuck. This month, let’s skip the setup and dive straight into the middle of things.
Writing from the middle forces you to jump in with action and lets you feel the story’s heartbeat. The characters already know each other. The stakes are high. You just need to hold on.
Exercise:
Skip your opening scene. Write something from the middle of your story. It can be a turning point, a fight, a revelation. Don’t worry about continuity. Just follow the energy.
Why does this work?
It removes pressure to be perfect and reminds you that writing is discovery, not performance.
Next month, we will discuss fear.
Good luck, writer.
