I’m extremely moody when it comes to working on this novel, which is probably one of the reasons why it’s taken so fucking long to get this point. I went a whole year of not really working on it and now, all of a sudden, I feel a huge urge to finish a new version as fast as possible.
But, for the next few days — maybe until about Saturday – Sunday — I’m probably going to just stare out into space instead of get any writing done. A number of things have come together at the same time between now and then to the point that it’s kind of pointless to try to write.
And, yet, once all that stuff is wrapped up, I think I’ll come roaring back and write a lot.
One thing I have accept is I have a lot — A LOT of rewriting to do in the coming days. I’ve finally admitted to myself that I can’t just breeze my way through a lot of scenes that are just good enough — I’m going to have to actually rewrite them to take them to the next level.
Thankfully, I have AI to lean on. That’s really helping me a lot to speed up my writing as well as to write better scene summaries to use as a jumping off point to write scenes in the first place.
