I got stuck less than 50 pages into Marla, Book One. I couldn't decide the best way to handle something, but I think I've got it now. I was writing a whole scene to acomplish one thing. Now, I've folded it into the next scene and I think it moves the plot along better that way.
I wrote a whole scene filled with important information that I almost immediately cut, realizing it revealed too much information. Still, once Nat has suspicions about the villain, I can put the scene back in.
After spending a relatively miserable weekend feeling sorry for myself about various things including my personal life and my job life (and reading a book and 1/2) , I finally got back in the groove and wrote last night. I've been looking foward to writing this scene ever since I thought of the changes I was going to make in it. It's an action sequence and I had a good time writing it.
This scene sets Marla's goal back and attracts the villain to poke her nose in again. :-)
Next: Three scenes that are direct consequences of the action-scene I just wrote.
GOALS FOR THE WEEK:
- Write the above three scenes and more
- Organize writing space in spare bedroom; add bulletin board and dry erase board for notes and ideas
- Continue to think about Song of the Prophecy, especially the addition of a secret society for the Mother or one for each of them.
