Well, I hope you all had a lovely Sunday. I did.
I had a lazy morning then wrote for a bit. I hit a place where I needed to figure out where the hell I was going with this particular scene. You know how that goes: "is this a genius plot line or an effing rabbit hole?" So I took a break and the hubby and I cleared the flower beds of last year's dead foliage. By that time, I'd decided it was a plot line (though the genius part was certainly debatable) but not really what to do with it, so I took a long, hot bath and thought some more.
I realized that what was throwing me off wasn't the scene I was currently writing, but how this new plot line and this formerly-minor-now-major character were going to affect the rest of the story. I decided it would be a good investment of my time to re-do my plotting for the rest of the book. A lot has changed since I first sketched it out and I've never gone back to adjust it or carry the new (or newly tweaked) threads through to the end of the story. I mean, I have moderately formed ideas in my head of what's going to happen, but now that I'm actually approaching writing those scenes, 'moderately formed' doesn't seem quite good enough.
Unfortunately, when I converted my existing work in progress to the latest version of the very cool software I use (Liquid Storybinder), the plot got a little messed up and I wasn't able to really modify it at all today. I'm all right for a few more scenes, I think, so hopefully the user group for LSB will be able to help me sometime in the next few days and then I can re-plot my little heart out.
I'm taking the rest of the night off, having made my goal for today (2K). Have a great night everyone and I'll journal with you tomorrow! :)
