Today's writing tip: confused? GOOD!
Writing is a process of discovery. Therefore, whenever you feel confused at any stage of a writing project, you should feel good about it. You're exploring the parameters of a project, wandering off track, and are never quite sure where you are.
Feeling confused is a vital stage of the writing process, so much so that whenever I feel as though I'm writing by the numbers, I look for ways to jazz up a project.
New writers tend to imagine that writing equals typing: a writer sits down, and taps out a piece from start to finish. Writing is NOT like that. :-)
As you continue your writing journey, you'll become more relaxed when you don't really know what you're writing, and when a piece seems chaotic.
Great things come from chaos.
