Rat-conga-lines and more congratulations!!
Good job surviving thus far, keep up the good work, and whatever you do, don't stop being so diggily-derned d'awesome!
So, I think I've hit a mid-book crisis on the WIP. A little doubt worm has me rethinking everything. My original outline was for a trilogy, with three separate arcs, climaxes, everything. There were some secrets carried over to bk2 so that more revelations could be made. Now that I'm more of a realist, I realize those other books may never be, and so maybe this one should stand on its own better. To do that, I guess I'd have to explain his motives in some corny flashbacks and risk it being all telly instead of the scenes I planned for bk2. I don't know, I don't know.
Everything seems so sucky right now. I'm going to keep writing anyway, but ugh.
My dude..... are- are you like, actually
me???
Because if you are, I gotta say:
Stahp eeet!
Realisticness and realism lead only to reality, and we deal in fiction! I was in tha therapsies today and I decided based on the information provided me that I gotta NOT aim for reality, or plan for reality, or expect reality. Reality is a cold, cruel, nasty, tushy-monster!
Only aim for reality when you're shooting it with your arrows of awesomesauce escapism! What you gotta do - gotta beliebe and hope and dream and think - is work for what YOU want, your goal - your achievement, your success, your dream - to make it happen. You gotta do lots, and trust yourself, and triple-check everything anyway, and be the badass that you know, secretly, deep down between that big heart and fearsome bottom of yours that you ARE a bad-
ass and your ass is bad in the best possible way.
Aim for the impossible, the unthinkable and unachievable; it's the only way to escape the mundane. So write that trilogy, Mary, write it and make it even better than you planned for it to be because, before, you planned for the possible, but now, now you gotta plan for the best!
