Hit 100 pages on a novel I abandoned for 5 years
Finally cracked 100 pages on a story I ditched back in 2019. Typed the last sentence of chapter 11 last night at my kitchen table in Spokane. I kept a notebook with plot ideas the whole time, so picking it up again felt less like restarting. Has anyone else come back to something after a long break and found the old notes actually helped?

Honestly the notebook thing sounds nice but 5 years of sitting in a drawer is exactly why most people never finish. I've got a folder of half done stuff I walked away from and the notes never saved me, the notes just sat there being notes. What worked for me was ditching the old outline and just writing forward each day with no plan at all.
