46,000 words. The dreaded two thirds point. I've set up my characters, established my plot, pushed through the turning point, but I'm not quite ready for the conclusion.
I hate this part.
It's a lot of hard work.
I was stuck for a month before I finally whipped out three chapters. Now I'm stuck again. And I hate it. I feel like I'm dragging the story out of me like a three year old dragging around a yowling cat instead of it flowing from my fingers.
Do you ever feel this way? What do you do to fix it?
Amber, I'm at 42k, and I feel EXACTLY the same way. A friend suggested I take a few weeks off and just read some good books while my subconscious figures things out. I might just do that. And then again, I might just keep trying drag this thing out. I love it, but it's killing me. It is hard. I am lazy, too. But I won't quit. Hope you don't!
ReplyDeleteGlamis: No. I won't quit. But sometimes it feels good to say that I could. I hope you break through!
