Two hours and seven pages in. I'm on pace to write 252 pages, but I do actually have to sleep. And also, there are the occasional updates, for which there will be reason.
So, update #1, meet reason #1. I am currently stuck just a little bit.
Now, originally, the plan was to post some short excerpts from the novel-in-progress, but it turns out that disqualifies me from the competition if they ever find out, and chances are, if you give a mouse a three day novel, they might go snooping after your writing blog. Or something like that.
Sorry, I did sneak in a little bit about cycling already in the first seven pages. But not to worry, it is not about cycling. There's just a bit in there. That is all I will give away. For real. No, the reason is I am stuck, right. The problem is that I have points A and B, and what I thought were points C, D, E and F at the very least, with likely points G, H, and I, but it turns out I need to bump everything, because what I have now is Points A, B, something new, and C, and D and E are ready to go but...not yet. They need something to bridge the gap. So, revised, points A, B, C (new), I need something in here to be point D, then E (which was the original point C). See? I have dots, just not all of them...do I want this line to go straight? Do I want it to curve? What?
Sorry I can't share any more details with you folks, but, well, you know how it is. Or maybe you don't.
Only 70 more hours until this competition is over! Ah!
Look, you just gotta go from A to B. Forget c, d, e, f, etc. They're just details. Flesh them out later. That's the beauty of writing; you can put in c & d, leave out e & f, add g,h & q, then go back and put m in there while you take out d and shorten c.
ReplyDeleteNow... you better not be reading this, you better just ponder the task at hand. WRITE! Right?
