Ugh. It's all I can say. Ugh.
I'm in the midst of explaining conspiracies in the last quarter of my YA dystopian, The Line, as I had blogged about earlier. It's slow. It's excruciating. It's hard.
Every word has to be carefully plotted. The pace has to be just right. It can't be dull, it can't be melodramatic. It's so tiring.
Ugh.
Plus, as I always do, I found yet ANOTHER hole in the conspiracy theory, one that will actually require me to back track into the novel and remove a piece of foreshadowing because it doesn't gel with the satisfying conclusion I've composed.
The male lead CAN'T hint about {insert conspiracy aspect here} (this is me, being vague on purpose because I don't want to ruin the ending for those of you who have been reading the excerpts on the blog), because if this character knows this fact WAY back there, he can't then be a part of the surprise reveal at the end HERE. Get it?
Ugh!
I'm so frustrated with how slow this is going!
Plus, I'm so tired I think I could fall asleep with my head on my laptop right at this very moment.
And heaven knows, I find it hard to think sharply when I'm well rested. When I'm tired, I might as well give up and play Angry Birds.
Now, there's a thought...
