Whoa.
So, I went to introduce the love interest, and… This scene needs to open the book. I just accidentally incorporated information that used to occur in an unlovely infodump that I planned to edit out later. No, really, I didn’t plan it, but it works. I love...*hangs head*
I’m kind of… …not writing. I suspect I’m less well prepared for my novel than I thought I was–I’ve been opening the document file and staring at it and closing it without adding anything new. Perhaps making the outline a bit clearer...Paradigm shift.
Now that I’m working on a novel, I keep having to tell myself to slow down, that I have plenty of room. I’m not convinced it’s working. In fact, I think I’m going to have to go back and flesh stuff out. I’ve got stuff in here that’s...Coping with novel anxiety.
I actually have… an outline. And the motivational spreadsheet of doom to track my wordcount. And… version control. Yes, version control, like programmers use. Why, yes, I am a geek. But I could have used version control sooner–I realized at one point...On second thought…
…I don’t think NaNoWriMo is what I’m looking for with Lizardfic the novel. NaNoWriMo still might be fun, but… not for Lizardfic. Which means that I need to come up with an outline, and a daily wordcount goal. Otherwise it’ll sit around my...Yikes.
I may be writing a novel. I received some crits for lizardfic today, and one of the critiquers agrees with Brian that the story might work better at novel-length. I suspect they may be right. Of course, I don’t have time right now. I need to finish this script....Must. Finish. Script.
The last pages of my script are just grinding out like cement. I don’t know if it’s laptop death trama and the associated rebuild/migrate/etc., the distraction of the new Precious, being busy at work, all of the above, none of the above… In short,...Complications Ensue
Um. Yeah. Laptop died. I kind of took the opportunity to go linux. Which means I had to import the script into Celtx, which I just don’t love as much as Final Draft. I’ll probably try to get Final Draft to work under wine as soon as I fix the video card,...Unsticking myself.
I’ve been stuck at 75 pages for awhile on Double Feature. Thematically, there are two minor characters who need more to do, and I might need to pad out the end a little with a bit more denouement, so hopefully that’ll do the unsticking trick. I’ve...Subscribe
