You know, that title could apply to the plot of a story. But in this case, it’s about my goals–and obstacles–in getting the story done. I’m still in that nebulous part of the BECOME: TO CATCH THE LIGHTNING
where I’m not entirely sure how I’m going to get from here to the next major plot point or how many chapters it’ll take to get there. Progress has been slow. Too slow.
There’s less than a month left before school starts up again and I go back to work. My goal was to have this first draft done. I think that’s highly unlikely now.
But what I need to do now is just write. It’s a first draft. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It doesn’t even have to be something that will be in the final draft. There’s a high probability that some of it will be cut or substantially changed. That’s okay. That’s what a rough draft is for. But I need to start pushing myself to at least keep this story moving toward a completed first draft.
This one is taking much longer than it should.
