Draft 1 is now at 92%, 127,753 words.
Writing progress as of 13th November 2018.
Whoops - a weekend off and then Monday too, that was not what I’d planned. I really had intended to write every day at first, or at least every weekday; but for one boring reason after another it just hasn’t happened.
Fortunately I’m well ahead of the deadline so I can afford a day or two (or three) off! I suspect that the reason I didn’t get back to it was at least partly because I didn’t know what to write. While I might have had good reasons not to push myself back to my desk, I certainly had the time if I’d wanted to. I believe I was just avoiding what I thought would be a hard writing day.
And in fact, when I sat down today with a blank screen in front of me… it took less than 5 minutes to work out where today’s writing would take me, and just over an hour to get there. I guess this teaches me two things.
-
It’s never as hard as you think it’ll be.
-
Don’t wait for inspiration - make it happen.
The climax of the story has begun - the characters are in place for the final showdown and the wheels have all been set in motion.
