I haven’t had much of anything to blog about. Hence the silence the last two days. What I have been doing is writing. I’m at just over 71k and trying to get throught the end of the book and get that draft finished so I can go back and polish. It seems like I’m going at a snail’s pace and it’s driving me nuts. I just want to be done.
I sort of wrote myself into a corner so I had to figure out how to get out of that one. Then I did it again! Grr. So I’m going to have to dump the next scene and started over. I’m not happy with it and I can tell it’s not jiving. I stared at the blank cursor for a while last night before I finally got it going again.
And what’s crazy is, I have an outline I’m going by. I haven’t plotted every scene, just the high points, but I’m still having trouble getting to the end.
The publisher I want to submit to states they want 90-120k submissions. So I’ll really need to see where I can beef up the story. I know I need to add some sexual tension and another scene so that will help the word count.
Anyway… that’s what I’ve been doing.
The kid has been sick – double ear infection. He had me worried over the last couple of days, though. I’m glad he’s feeling better. Tonight we have basketball practice and I intend to get some writing done then. Hopefully I”l be out of that corner. 😉
So I’ve been writing. And I’ve also been tweeting. If you’re interested in my totally random tweets, you can follow me.
I’m glad the week is nearly over!
Sounds like we have the same “Blahs.” But WAY TO GO on the writing!!!
Glad you’ve been writing. Sorry to hear about the ear infection. I used to get those regularly, and they are AWFUL. Hope he improves quickly and it stays gone.
