Ran into my first roadblock

So I wrote fairly well on Monday but Tuesday I spent the day outlining character arcs. My novel is about a small town and small town politics. There are ten characters I list as needing to have story arcs to carry it off. I realized I was stuck at writing the next scene because I wasn't sure who's arc needed to be touched now. So more planning. Oh the struggles of a discovery writer. I really wish I could outline better. Then I know the words would flow faster.

One thing about Monday's writing (about 2,000 words) the scene played out well and I am very happy with the dialogue.

Good luck to you all and I hope it we all get it this year.
