Writer's Diary

Monday, September 27, 2004

OK, so ASH may need a bit more work than I thought. Some of it is really icky, but the basic premise is good. Pep talk to self. Icky stuff gets fixed by sitting down and fixing it. However, it's also true that it helps to have an idea where to go, which means that I will do some brainstorming tonight so that I don't fix in the wrong direction. Wait, I take back the icky part. There are too many characters, that's a problem. There are too many scenes that don't do much BUT! I know how to fix them. It involves the delete key. I'm very good at that. But, I think I might also find my fav scenes, read them and fix them up and then work outward from there. Sigh. Why can't I just wake up with it all fixed?
I swear the worst part of writing a book is when it's 50-60% done because naturally there are wretched parts. That's why the book isn't done. Oh well. Off to brainstorm and get myself solid.
