Breakthrough

Yessssss! I finally had a breakthrough on my novel today. For the last 3-4 days, I was bottled up because I kept starting and then stopping, then thinking and more thinking, then starting again until FINALLY I was able to write through the problem.

I'm terrible with figuring out where to start. Beginnings are difficult for me yet I can see the end of my novel so clearly. I just need to get there.

Today, I feel like I'm getting one more chapter closer. I'm not completely finished with this section but at least I don't feel the need to start all over again.

Oh, and that picture is of an African Sunbird, which may play a part in my novel's climax. Isn't it pretty?!

I've been thinking a lot about birds, mostly because when I go for a walk during my lunch break, they're everywhere. I just read this article in New Scientist about birds having the ability to see the Earth's magnetic field. The article goes into some detail but I need to Google this so I can find even more information. In short, one scientist believes that birds have an additional layer to their vision that allows them to switch into this magnetic viewing mode. How awesome is that?! My mind is running 100 miles with this...

Back to work...
