I had a difficult writing day yesterday, only 891 words in 1 hour 45 minutes, but I knew it was going to be tough going in because of the lingering emotion of the defeating dreams I’d had the night before.
I also opted to change some pretty big issues with the plotline, but being only 4,000 words into the story, it was a good time to make the decision. I did resist the urge to go back and re-write immediately (which tends to send me on that loop of never getting past the first 15,ooo or so). Instead, I marked the pages that need to be changed on a day I sit down to edit.
On the plus side, I had a character walk in that I wasn’t expecting, and the story has taken on a different feel because of it. I think it works, because obviously this character is ready to go!
$2.14 snacks, 891 words, $17.50 hourly.
I LOVE when a new character comes knocking on my door!! Especially one who can’t wait to tell his/her story.
Tanya, you are just too damned cute.
