I know things are going well with this first novel in the four novel series because I’ve just about worn myself down when it comes to all these arbitrary writing “laws” I’ve come up with. Some of them are so dumb and are so getting in the way — and I’m enjoying writing again so much — that I’m just about to ditch them just so I can finish something, anything.
Everything — at the moment — is humming along.
It just that writing a novel with the high standards I have is extremely time intensive. It just takes time to get to the point where you can write a scene without worrying that the whole plot will collapse because of this or that dumb thing you didn’t think about.
But, again, things are going well. I’m throwing everything I have creatively at this first novel in the series. I just have to, like, allow myself to write shit for the first draft so something gets done sooner rather than later.
