writers. block. today

[leoniedelt]

I have a few scenes left that I know i need to write, i know how they're going to happen and I know what i want to accomplish. So why can't i write them? Writer's block is a bizarre thing. Really bloody bizarre.

I've been editing the hell out of my draft and taking notes while stuck in places away from my keyboard, things i've thought of that  i need to add / make sure are in there somewhere, etc. Details. But still, i seem to be stuck on those paragraphs, after the 3k words i totally pulled out of my arse yesterday. None of it was planned, i just sat down and decided to type and see what happened, and I liked the result of it. I swear i had no plans, it just came to me as it is. Whole conversations just popped in my skull.

All i need to do is a dream sequence and a discussion of said dream, and i swear i just cannot get it going.

Grr.

It sucks - i get my best ideas while in bed for the night!

I just finished it. 10800 words. Now i need to edit the hell out what i've just written, as i doubt its really that good, and make sure I've achieved all the things i set out to do.

*collapse*

Funnily enough, plot isnt really my problem - i can plot things like mad, add 50 thousand loose ends in the first 10 pages that I have to tie up somehow later, and its weird how it just comes to me. Hell, i pulled off 64k completed novel in 3.5 weeks in November for nanowrimo... that was a wild ride, I'll tell you!

Hey, congrats on finishing it :) I keep meaning to join NaNoWriMo, but I don't know if I'd be able to stick to it.

Last year was my first time, but it was amazing to stick to and do, yes.

Oh man i have some spit n polishing to do, yes.
