Blah! That's how I feel-not even an iced venti soy vanilla latte made me feel better. I'm in the middle....the middle Middle of my story as in I just completed Act I (of 2) and UGH!
I had another small progress day, though I finally finished chapter 12. The ending was making me nuts, I kept writing scenarios to end it and then deleting it. Then when I came up with the ending I knew it was right because I had that sort of "this is right feeling" in my gut and also a "duh" moment because it was so obvious, I couldn't believe I hadn't seen this ending before. But then I had so much trouble coming up with my very final sentence.
And you'd think that my awesome outline would have prevented me from this trauma, but my outline actually said, "and then something happens to make it stop." Oy!
I don't know...I'm probably just tired. Hopefully I can make up for it with my three day weekend coming up. I need the entire day to focus, and sometimes working just leads to ehhhh.
Boo!
Ok here are the details even though they depress me.

I am stuck in my middle too. It's like a wasteland that makes absolutely no sense.
ReplyDeleteOne problem is that I revised the ending and beginning so much that the middle doesn't even make any sense anymore. I'm always jotting down things like, Have these two even met yet? and But he didn't give her the CD until page 156!
Hahaha, that's right up there with "and then something happens to make it stop"
ReplyDeleteI actually know my ending perfectly, its like the only thing that doesn't change.
And I know what I need to do, but I literally feel like Im trudging in a swamp! Blech!
