Distraction
It's my own fault really but... damn!
Over the course of the last week I wrote about 10.000 words for my Guy/Marian story (five chapters). And then, on Saturday, I had to take a break from writing because I woke up with a terrible headache and I just couldn't sit in front of the computer.
And on Sunday I took a break from writing because I decided I had to re-watch Downton Abbey Season 4 to prepare myself for the new Season. The first episode of Season 5 was on last night and I watched it this morning.
And now I'm afraid I have distracted myeslf quite well from my story. I can't seem to find my way back in. I'm stuck at a difficult scene and I need to get it written.
I promised myself that I would get this story finished by the end of this week. Or, if not finished, then I need to get it to a place where I can leave it off for the time being. I don't want to leave the readers in the lurch, I want them to have the feeling all loose ends are tied up and we're in a good place to start a sequel (if I ever get round to writing one).
But I'm afraid I won't get there in time. I know what that place will be, I know how to end this part of the story for now, but I'm not sure I can get the characters there.
Seems like I have my work cut out for me. The remaining days of vacation will be filled with writing.
Thank God the weather has turned bad. It's raining now and the summer seems to have finally come to an end, so it's not too bad if I'm stuck inside all the time.
