1,400 words written of the new book, and a fine tuning of what I wrote yesterday and the day before that.
Today's words are mostly dialogue. I can hear this book, if that makes any sense at all. I see it too, but that's easier to fill in later. Most likely, I'll fill it in tomorrow. As of right now, I am writing down what the characters are saying - to each other - to themselves. The new scene breakdown is easy to work off, and I'm loving the security it provides.
I don't have to worry about writing myself into a hole and having to dig myself out. I can just concentrate on the scene - on what's happening on the surface, and what's happening underneath, and how each character's voice differs. It's quite liberating.
Ack - I so love, love, love this part of the process! The part when I'm on fire and I'm in love.
It usually dies about the time I realize I've made a plot mistake in the outline, but for now - I'm going to enjoy the honeymoon phase and press on.
I am very encouraged.
Not only that, I'm enjoying the fact that this book is so very creepy.
I do so love creeping myself out.
There has to be something wrong with me...
