Ramble

I have done everything other than write today. I've bitched about not knowing who to ask to publish or agent my work. I've read other people's queries. I've actually done some work at work. I've opened every separate chapter document on my google docs account, checked word count and figured out how much I still have to write.

I've mused in a self-indulgent fashion with regards to how bad my work is, and how lacking in true talent it actually is.

I've written this post.

It's not writer's block - I know what scenes I need to write - it's that 'almost finished self doubt' period. It's killing me.

Plus I'm bored. Who's going to join me?

oh, it's just that my work is at that point where all the fun stuff is written, and it's down to the hard scenes I've been putting off, the bridging scenes, or the serious ones that aren't fun. No more funny come-back scenes, no more sex scenes, no more love scenes. It's all down to boring move the story along stuff, boo! LOL

I can justify the break since I've written an average of 2000 words a day for the last 3 weeks

I wrote the first seven chapters in sequence, got stuck, wrote a whole lot of random scenes, then linked them to each other, and thus had the end of the book written.

I had hoped to write twenty chapters. I have the first and last halves of the book written, so now I'm missing half of chapter seven, the whole of chapter eight, and then roughly all chapters between ten and about fifteen.

I hope it's entertaining, like you said, but meh, they're hard and boring scenes to write, since they involve checking all these random details to make sure it all flows and hangs together nicely, sigh!

you're totally right there. I started off writing this one with the intention to write in order, but I got stuck and I still haven't been able to jump that particular plot hurdle. Grumble. I'll get there eventually, but my guess is I'll have to work back from the end and then go through to check for continuity

it is! and it's more than over half now, hurrah! update sig time I think!

I'm a bit tired of the whole 'oh, I'm the vampire queen and I'm taking over the world' paranormal romance. What about two vamps that fall in love, and have to deal with their various every day problems, as well as those of being a vampire?

That's pretty much what I've written, LOL

oooh interesting. How does she stop herself from biting him? or sucking him dry? My vamp is an emote. She gets drunk off emotions.
