Another day and another 6,000 words written. The day started very well
with 3,000 words in the morning. The afternoon was harder though.
At one point I was writing a sentence, stopping for a few seconds, write a sentence,
stop, write, stop. I lost the constant flow that's there when I'm really
into the story. I'm sure why, I was really enjoying the story.
Maybe I was overly tired from yesterday, after an easier day today, hopefully
I'll be more in tune tomorrow.
Now that I'm working on the third book, something I particularly like is
having hard copies of the previous books at my elbow. Not only are they
excellent reference points, much better than trawling through a word document
or digging up data from a spreadsheet, they are a real incentive. A
constant reminder of 'hey I did it' OK very few people are buying them,
but still. I'm proud of what I've achieved. I can point to these
and perhaps more later on and say 'I did that'.
There was one particularly nice piece of news today. I won £80 on the
lottery. How about that? I never win anything.
Now I just need to work out how I'm going to get everyone out of the corner
I've painted them into. That's pretty much what I do. I create a
challenging scenario, throw the characters in and then work out how they're
going to get out. I think I may have out done myself with this one.
I've yet to rewrite the rules but I may be forced to here. I can't see a
way out. Never mind, I'll sleep on it and something normally comes to
mind, a flash of inspiration or some such.
I mentioned about Emily/Amanda's father in Revenge last week. They
didn't come close to resolving it this week. I'm going to give them two
more before I get annoyed. Emily's far too smart a character to allow it
to go any further than that.
Total now at 73,000 words. Almost halfway.
