New Novel: Third Time’s No Charm

I was so pleased that I’d gotten into a writing groove on my current novel and was racking up the page count by two a day. But my writing group met Monday, and agreed that I’m still not on the right track after three starts. The bad news is that I don’t have either a frame or a story arc that work, so I can write 2 pages a day till the cows come home, and just be spinning my wheels. The good news is that I trust my writing group enough not to get defensive and second guess it. I agree that the new novel isn’t working, and am going to take some time off from it. Perhaps if I read and write other things, my subconscious will work things out.
