It's my first draft of my first novel.
So I'm writing 1,000 words a day, most days it's a real struggle to get those 1,000 words down. Usually I start out very slowly and pick up speed as the writing session proceeds.
And keeping everything straight is a real chore.
I had this one part where my protagonist "Meets the Hendersons", a family of three, mom, dad and little Henderson junior.
It was a real pleasant encounter on the sidewalk of residential district. "Pleased to meet you." "Pleased to meet you too." They chatted and went their separate ways. I finished another scene I thought.
I then I remember they were in the middle of an active war zone. Everyone should've been terrified or they should've at least mentioned the war. The way I had written the scene was either comical or surreal.
Sigh.
I'm here on absolutewrite instead of writing...
I outlined but like all good plans once you meet the enemy the plan is out the window.
I assume it will get easier.
