Writer's Diary

Thursday, January 20, 2005

Have hit my first snag with this book. In a sick sort of way, it's a relief, I think. First off, one chapter got in my master doc twice which I didn't notice until yesterday and then I ended up being negative words instead of plus a bunch. An artifact not grounded in reality, but it feels like when you think you have $10 in your wallet but actually you don't. Arrghhh!

Anyway, my head is spinning with adjustments and directions. Do I need to get rid of a demon? My hero isn't showing up until way too late. My new deadly bad demon is way more interesting than the hero (because at this point, the hero isn't in the dang part of the story I'm working on, that's why!) Arrghhh! I've been staring at the silly monitor all evening trying to figure out my straight line through to the solution. I always make things way too complicated. Instead of staring into space trying to think of what to write, I should have been notebooking. Sigh.

Did I mention I have a hideous cold?
