It could be that the setting is just coming off as a white room in my head, or it might be something more difficult like my characters not saying or doing what I want them to. Most of the time, if I grab a notebook I can ask myself questions until the scene starts to take life in my head. For example, I have three main characters in my current WIP. I have to ask myself what each character wants and how they could get it in each chapter so that no one is forgotten or underdeveloped 🖤(less)

“I. Am. Poison.”
Robin Alvarez, When Oceans Rise

“I’m stuck in a nightmare and the person I want to save me is also the person causing me pain”
Robin Alvarez , When Oceans Rise

“I was free from my prison the way I had been when I'd first made my death wish. For the second time, I hadn't realized how genuinely miserable I was, until that misery vanished and what it left was spectacular--a life in full color. Only this time, it was life that was entirely mine.”
Robin Alvarez, When Oceans Rise
