Nothing kills my momentum like writing. I was making good progress filling in content and actually completing dungeons, but then I had to write a dreaded main story scene.

I'm at this awkward point as a writer where I know what I have doesn't work but don't know how to write it better. And the scene I was writing had to be good. It's the critical transition between the first and second half of the story.

Now most of the game scenes are random, one-off nonsense which is fine to write, but there is an actual story woven through there, and when I have to tell that, I freeze. Combine that with my best lines coming to me at random times (like brushing teeth), then I put off writing for the next day, hoping that the dialog will just come to me. But it doesn't. So I put it off for the next day. And then I don't touch the game for 3 months.

But I'm back, and work is actually happening. I sat down and rewrote the outline for the second half. Then I filled in each scene line by line. It's there. It's done.

My momentum is back, and I'm hoping to keep it. There's only a few dungeons left and would love to finish this game.
