Time to Focus, Time to Finish

All right, I will try to put that bit of crazy out of my head.

I have 2 hours to write. They are all mine.
This is amazing. If only I can keep it up. :D

Anyway, let me think about these two hours and what I need to accomplish:
I need to get those last seven scenes corrected so they match the earlier scenes. Need to get into the story and excited.
Even though it's been a slog for me, it should zip right along for the reader.
My experience writing it does not at all correlate with how it will feel reading it.

EDIT: Monday- going to continue along with this post until it's done. I have about 90 minutes which is wonderful!

EDIT: Weds. What a day. But time to get some more read. Hopefully I haven't lost momentum...

EDIT: Thurs. Time to make some more progress. Might get in 4 hours today! (1.5 so far)

EDI: Fri. Yesterday did not go as planned but 1.5 hrs is still pretty good.
I can't believe I'm still only up to scene 25. I must figure out how to re-handle this section. I'm torn about which to do.
Okay- DECISION MADE. I must go back to the original plan.
I must rip out all the scenes I loved and move them to a different place. IT NO LONGER FITS.
I am wasting too much time on stuff that isn't right.
Time to move forward. Bring it way down to dive shop fun. Let's go!

Got to scene 30. Decision UNmade. Too attached. I think I'll finish up as is and let beta reader decide how it seems

To Do:
Re-read from beginning, making sure the character stays true. ...LEFT OFF 30.
Get re-caught by the love of the story and act on that to have fun with the ending.
Take a real lunch to work on this, and, again, enjoy. Take the time to work on story again. :D
