"Red Sands" Week Twelve

[kristen999]

Where I talk about stop-start-stop-start.



I've been stitching together chapter fifteen in tiny increments. There are a lot more smaller scenes and each one had me staring at the screen a lot. Last night all I wrote were 200 words in one sitting. It was like pulling teeth.

It's not that I don't know what I want to write; it's like standing outside while it's snowing and trying to catch all the falling flakes. I'm avoiding info dumps while being very conscious of what is said, if I've covering my bases.

I think I have little more than half the chapter written, on pace with my goal.

In the next week I hope to complete chapter fifteen and flesh out the conclusion before sitting down to write it.

Not being able to take what's in my head to pen and paper is the worst frustration, but it occurs in fits and gasps, but I think things will smooth out soon.
