Hey Neil, I’m working on my first novel, first draft, but I’m stuck with the irritating sensation that I haven’t set up enough things, so I keep editing and rewriting instead of forging ahead. First drafts are supposed to be fun, but I feel like I’ve lost perspective while chasing storylines around my brain. How do you rediscover your writing joy when you get stuck?

You move forward. Fixing things, editing and rewriting, are second draft things to do.
