Do you smell that?
That is the smell of uninhibited creativity.
What? Smell’s like burning plastic…
…humph.
Today, I am getting back into the groove. Though, if the truth be told, I haven’t really fallen off of the writing wagon. I’ve just had no time to blog about my progress. You know how life can be sometimes – it runs you ragged and sucks you dry. A few months ago, I started outlining the rewrite of my WIP Retribution. It went badly at first, as I knew it would. By nature, I am not an organized writer. A personality flaw to add to my growing list. However, I figured out what worked best for me, and the awkward process seemed to straighten itself out. I feel pretty good about what I’ve got to work with, and hopefully it will be enough to get me past the 30,000 word mark – the point at which I threw in the towel last time.
For weeks, I have resisted the urge to write. Premature writing is distracting and tends to land me in a big old mess of trouble. Well, the time has come.
Let the writing begin!
To keep with the theme of my self-shaming Sunday update, which will make a return this week, I am going to give myself a goal to meet.
This week’s goal:
Complete draft of opening scene – i.e. introduce the world to Anna and blow up the Piazza Navona.
…and away we go.
Good luck! Strangely, or not, I feel like you’re ahead of the game simply because you know your trouble spots. If you see them coming, they’re less likely to take you down.
Can’t wait to see how this goes. I have a good feeling. Best of luck, I know you can do it.
