writing breakthrough
Dec. 7th, 2007 07:50 amOkay, no new words from yesterday (I spent the day thinking about hooks, so to speak), but getting dressed this morning, some things just fell together for my WIP. I've been trying to pit two characters against each other and the circumstances have felt a little...placed there because the author wanted it to be that way. But I think I've got the connection now! It's logical, it makes natural connections between characters and locations and situations and even makes use of the local setting and also the university funding system, which are familiar things to me.
So: will everybody within a 200-mile radius of me please go into suspended animation so I can incorporate this into the first 40K of my book? Please? Laundry, wash thyself! Food, buy thyself! Appointments, carry on without me! I am writing!
(I realize this is probably of no interest to anyone but myself--but I find I'm writing this book thread by thread--write a layer, add a layer, write a layer, add a layer. Sort of a sideways way into the book. I wish it were DONE! Alas, no. But it's at least a step closer.)
