This novel is starting to get to me. Or maybe it’s just that I’m so busy that I’m not thinking clearly. I don’t know. But I just noticed one of those ain’t gonna work plot points that should have been obvious from day one. I don’t know what I was thinking and am not completely sure I’m not misunderstanding what I’m reading at this point. I’m spreading myself thin lately, writing more and on a stricter schedule than ever before. It’s great; I love writing for Examiner and want to begin posting some more in-depth content in addition to the event update and historical information. But I also have to finish this novel. I’m on a deadline – self-imposed – but a deadline nonetheless and finding blatantly lazy mistakes like the one I’ve just discovered is so disheartening.
Okay, deep breath. It’s late and I’m tired and I’m being too hard on myself. I can address the problem in the first scene and figure out a way to make it work for the rest of the plot. I can continue to write and post solid, original content at Examiner. It’s just going to take a little more organization. This is my chance: the closest I’ve come being able to build a platform, connect with other writers, and gain more experience. But right now I have to go to bed; I’m learning the difference between pushing through to the next level and bottoming out. Too tired to think straight so will let subconscious solve plotting problem and hopefully it will address my next Examiner article while it’s cranking out answers. Good night world.
