It may actually be more, now. I hope I'm pacing it right!
It's spring break this week, and all the kids are home. It's raining, too- so they are all right here. All day. I'm lucky if I get to sit for more than five minutes without someone crying.
I'm feeling that "on-a-roll" feeling for sure.
I'm spouting out all kinds of things, moving the plot forward, skipping over the normal stuff I add in there because I think it sounds cool. I'm just trying to keep it moving. I'm excited about writing some of the scenes that are coming up!
That's what writing is all about- writing those moments that made you think of the story in the first place. It's kind of exciting to get to write them in film-form. I get to see it from all angles- lighting, music, etc. I'm stoked. I can't believe I never thought of getting into the film industry when I was young and fresh and full of options. I never considered it. Heck, I've wanted to be a fashion designer, an Opera singer, a police officer- never a director, producer, screenwriter, etc. Dangit.
Anyway, the part I'm writing right now is the part in the novel that is SUPER, super boring. Its not the beginning, it's the dreary early-middle before the next real plot-moving event happens. I usually (since I've technically written this story 3 times) go into a bunch of detail about my main characters job and the enviroment and relationships there. But I realized- who cares? It doens't really matter. She works there. The job helps her find John and provides an antagonist of sorts as well. Thats it- we don't need to know any more.

lots of fun! You still have lots of options..there's always an alternate route when there's a detour.

I know- kind of scary! I'm trying to release my control of the characters a bit. I've already dropped one sub-plot. Who knows what will happen! I wish I didn't have the reality of laundry and family coming to visit this weekend to stop me. (Of course, I am sitting here on the internet...procrastinating)
