For the last few weeks, I’ve really have been struggling with a short sequence in the outline of the novel I’m working on. Over and over again, I just could not figure out how to choreograph the information I wanted to convey.
But, finally, after way too much time, I may have finally, finally figured out what I want to say and how I’m going to say it.
I hope — hope! — that once I’m pass this specific little issue that things will start to move faster and I can wrap up this draft of the novel a pretty nice little clip. But who knows. I have another little part of the outline coming up that I feel needs to be expanded, so things might take longer than I hope.
And, as all of this is going on, I’ve finally figured out how to tell the Impossible Scenario as a novel. (I think.) (Maybe.) I’ve come up with an unusual way to do it, but it’s the only way I can think of.
I worry that the structure may be better suited for a short story, but whenever I try to write a short story, I inevitably endup fleshing out a novel. Sigh.
