I heard that once you pass 35,000 words, it gets much easier.
I say they lie. It's almost harder.
I know how I want my story to end. I see it in my mind, I know what happens.
I just can't write it. The words won't come out. I can't make it right. I just don't know how to do it.
But, I know it's just supposed to be a first draft, so I am trying to ignore the urge to do it right, and just write.
Let's see how I do.
goal: 2,000 more words tonight
Hey! Yeah! You can do it, mate! Keep going!
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you that I had no idea how to write the ending of last year's, though I knew kinda what happened, plus I was almost at 50,000 words on the last day, so I wrote the climax of the book in one summary paragraph and tacked on a fluffy scene as the ending? Yeah. I did that. : D
Also: great heavens above, my verification word is an actual word: beakers.
