Here I am, writing away, expecting to have a pretty uneventful day. I’m filling in the corners, or at least, that’s what I thought I was doing. But suddenly, instead of filling in a corner, I’ve written my hero into one. Now I have to get him out of it, and it’s extremely important to do it in a timely manner. Oh, and I need to make it believable.
I guess the good part about being stuck like this is that unlike reading someone else’s book, I get to say, “Why doesn’t the hero just do X?” and then I get to have him do it.
It’s been a good weekend for writing so far. I’m at about 4,000 words and not quite done for the day yet.
Just a few more weeks and I’ll be done with the first draft. Then things really start getting interesting.
