Connections and Conniptions

[bridgewriter]

I've spent a decent portion of the day sorting through old scenes from my story and trying to see what threads are emerging. So much has changed as the characters (S-L-O-W-L-Y) develop, that I have to keep reminding myself that this is how writing often works. It sometimes seems like I am losing more pages than I am creating. However, if I give up, nothing will be written. I am not the only writer struggling with a bunch of unrestrained (though at times, entertaining) characters floating around in my head and on the page. As I continue to coax these characters out, hopefully their story will emerge. Not easy...but I keep coming back to my computer. (And, I am so happy and grateful that our writing group has gotten off the ground!)
