A week into revisions and 22K through my “real first draft”. All I want to do is write, write, write.
I’m feeling grateful to have writing partners who are helping me workshop as I go and get past some sticky moments. This evening I went through a scene I had so much trouble with in the first draft and I think it’s much better now. It took talking with my friend to realize I didn’t hate the whole scene — I actually liked most of the scene I just didn’t like one specific part. Which could be taken out. Problem solved.
On track for my writing timeline for the moment — we’ll see if I can keep up the pace.
Here’s are my last sentences written from this past week:
- 8/4: She did and I had my fingers crossed.
- 8/5: Bring home cheese curds.
- 8/6: The next hour passes in an agitated blur.
- 8/7: I can still taste the blood on the back of my teeth.
- 8/8: I needed to record some new ones.
- 8/9: We will test you on it.
- 8/10: I’ll see her in the morning where we can get back to what matters most to both of us: running.
With Love,
Natalie
