Writing:
A strange day. I found it really difficult to concentrate today in general (which is always a sign, to me, that something is going wrong somewhere with the book).
I messed around on the new chapter for a bit, trying to at least sketch out a few scenes. It wasn’t working. So I sat down and realised that I’d gone wrong a few scenes back. It seems to happen this way for me – if I’m stuck on a particular scene, chances are I’ve gone wrong a ways back. I know what I need to fix, but right now, I don’t quite know how to fix it. So I’m stepping away from the writing for the day, and hope the men in the basement will get to work.
Realistically, I probably only have a few chapters to go until the end of this draft (according to my sketchy outline, anyway) so I could probably slow the pace a little now. I’m dying to reach the end, though, so I probably won’t slow down much.
