So... I didn't finish my novel--but that's OK. I didn't want to rush and cram my words onto the page. Last winter I wrote whenever I could, whether I was tired, foggy-headed, sick, busy, rushed, or not. That was an experience. I'm glad I had it--and I recommend it. But I wanted to try to write with discipline without pressure. I wanted to work on ( Read more... )

I've been meeting to blog about this more regularly, but I've been awful at it. Sorry. So far, it has been going well. I have two main plots.

I need to get back in the rhythm. I've been writing decent scenes, but I'm so inefficient it sometimes takes me two or more hours just to get the minimal word count. Fortunately, I finished a few projects today, freeing the morning, my most efficient time. Tomorrow I may not be able to take advantage of it, but I'm still excited to close out the ( Read more... )

 If my book had parts over chapters I would have just finished part two and started part three, the final section. It's actually fairly well-balanced

Making progress. My characters are starting to come to realizations that I might want to delay until the end in a rewrite, but for now, they help me know what's going on and how to begin to draw the denouement together.
