Life has been hectic and strange and difficult and wonderful.
Today I come back to my writing and revision. My main focus is getting the plot revision finished. Based on Write Track, I'll aim for 6 scenes revised per day through Aug 24th. Currently I have 75 scenes completed / 53 scenes to go.
Updates to follow...
7:05pm: Procrastinated... ate some dinner... procrastinated some more.
OK, here's the thing. I hate the current scene. UGH, it's terrible. Must kill it. But what do I replace it with?
I need to be okay with the effort involved. In some ways this is just as hard as first draft. Sometimes easier but when the scene is wrong, it's time to write again.
I'd rather be watching the evil box right now.
Time to make decisions about the scene. I already know that I need to bring in one of the MCs. and I need to rewrite the rules of the game. It needs to come alive.
No, I won't watch the evil box right now even though it's easy and it's story and I loves it.
I just need to get in the right habit. somehow.
6 scenes to go. No problem. I mean, why not?
Yeah, ok, I moved the deadline out to end of Sept. I now need to revise 2 scenes / day. Still too much but much more realistic.
Will I ever be a published author?
And, just to be clear, I'm over 1/2 way completed on the plot revision and solidly in the murky middle. Which even though it's crap, it could still be much worse compared to some nightmare stories I've heard.
Ok, where's the remote? ...I've been at revision (off and on, mostly off) since April.
