Do you have too many WIPs? Do you want to clear some of them out?
It's easy to start a new WIP but not so easy to go beyond that. This is a periodic reminder that not everything needs to be finished. It's also a reminder that sometimes you can go back to an old WIP with fresh eyes and what was once impossible to write now seems easy.
Choose one of your WIPs and try these steps to see if you can clear it out.
Before you open it or reread it:
How does this work make me feel?
Why did I stop writing it?
Do I want to open this document and reread it?
Why is this work still lingering in my "to do" pile?
Delete or abandon or orphan or give away any WIPs that you don't actually want to write.
After you open it or reread it:
How does this work make me feel?
Can I identify the problem I had or the reason I was stuck or why I lost my motivation?
Do I know what needs to happen next (or later in the story)?
Will a time jump or skipping scenes help?
Can I write a disconnected scene that interests me right now?
Can I write a transition?
Can I edit what is already there and make it easier for me to move past my block?
Do I want to do any of the above, or would I rather abandon this work?
Do this for 1 WIP or for all of them or something in between. Any works that are still in progress, you can either continue working on actively or put away until your next review. Any that you don't actually want to write, you can delete or abandon or orphan or give away.
Note: If you are writing for a fandom event, contact the organizers and let them know that you won't be able to complete your work. Events usually have authors lined up who are willing to "pitch hit" and complete a work if the original creator isn't able to.
