rhienellethSee, I didn't lie! I am back on the NaNo project, and have broken the 70k word barrier.
Technically, only about 20k more to go. Heck, I wrote that much in 3-4 days back during NaNo. But it's probably closer to 30k, and I don't know how fast it's going to get on paper. My characters are in the midst of emotional upheaval right now, which is going to be hard to write in some respects. Or maybe I've reached that point in the book in general that's just difficult to write.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
matociquala was saying something about how that happens to her, and I've heard other authors speak of it. It sucks, I tell you. I know what happens, I want the words on paper, but they fall from my fingertips oh-so-slowly, it seems.
I've hit walls in other books at various points, but usually the wall is labeled "I have no idea what the heck happens next". That is not the case here, so I'm finding myself perplexed by it. I can only forge ahead and force myself to write, even when I don't really want to. I want it finished! I want to be able to sit back and say, look, it's done! I want to write it, but half of me is also dragging my feet.
Which is, of course, why I'm wasting time whining on my LJ instead of getting Chapter 24 finished. But I posted Chapter 23, so that has to count for something!
Ok, ok. Back to Chapter 24. Oh, Dom. I'm so sorry.
