Struggling

I had to force 700 words out of myself tonight. Wednesday will be a day for editing. I have more than 9K words to whip into readable shape.

I've come to a point where the outline I made 2 years ago isn't helping. I'm definitely wingin' it now. That's fun and that's frustrating.

Sometimes, I get multiple scenes coming to me and I'm not sure I know what to work on first. There's no way I can write more than one scene at once so I have to take notes and hope that the story comes out okay as I tackle it with new eyes each day.

I think the human side of me is resisting the process where you immerse yourself in too many unknowns. I want and need to finish this novel by December 31st.

I've got 126 days left.

I love that space picture! So pretty. And you'll get there. I know you will.
