Another writing update for my as-yet-unnamed 3rd novel (which, again, is an entirely different animal than the first two)…
So far it seems that my attempt at writing this one a lot faster than the previous two is suffering a few setbacks. For the moment I’m choosing to blame this on a busy holiday season and the difficulty in starting a new book (establishing characters, not overdoing exposition, and so forth). I’ve rewritten the second chapter three or four times now, just trying to get it right, and it’s still not to my liking.
On the plus side, I THINK that once I get over this particular hurdle, I’ll have gotten over the initial creative energy hump. Then I can better continue forward with the proper momentum.
I realize I’m being terribly vague about all of this, but oh well. Right now Seattle’s being hit by a rather nasty blizzard (by our standards, anyway), and my brain is iced. Here’s hoping the power holds out…
