Hey guys,
I’m working on my novel, Fallen Love, and I’m about 35k words in. I should mention that I started the manuscript as an alternative version to the Ark, the novel I was originally planning to write. I wrote 56k words on it before I decided that it wasn’t going in the direction I wanted—that it wasn’t, in fact, the novel I was supposed to be writing. So: I took the main characters, their romance, and another major character, but set everything in a different world with different sources of conflict. I actually commissioned an editor for the Ark; it was her advice that led me over the edge to pursue this new work.
Anyway, that’s enough detail. Basically, I’m going through a part of the book right now where I have a lot of... bad stuff happening to the characters. It’s pretty intense; and I’m find it difficult to find the resolve to write it all. Do any of yous have similar experiences? Any advice?
