Headdesking forever.
I realize I'm in the middle of the mid-story "OH GOD I HATE THIS THING SO MUCH RIGHT NOW" doldrums, but dammit, one of my characters did not need to go from German to British midstream. It's a first draft and I'm making it work, but argh.
I have scribbled all of 34 words today. In revision. I'm nearly 4000 words in and have no bloody idea what my endgame is yet.
The pitfalls of pantsing.
I also need to go over my spreadsheet and sub the stories languishing on my hard drive right now. I did one last night. One. I've about decided to trunk Abducted Werewolf, and possibly Gargoyles as well. Abducted Werewolf is not my best work and Gargoyles has garnered 29 rejections. I had hopes for the thing, and it's passed slush a few times and got a WotF Honorable Mention, but... bleh.
Well. 500 words won't write themselves and the stories are not going to jump off my hard drive and into editors' inboxes. Back to work.
