pjthompsonSo I know how to fix Venus in Transit now, and I finally know how it ends! Which is really too bad, because now I want to work on it. I should have known better than to take up with that hot young thing waiting in the wings while trying to work out my relationship with Charged with Folly. I'm torn, torn I tell you!
This is why I never consider any of my moribund novels truly dead unless I lose all desire to fix them, completely stop wondering what the characters are up to, and what they did on their vacation. I just never know when an idea is going to come charging back at me, rested up and full of vigor.
Don't get me wrong: this draft is ugly. It's nice to know my writing has improved some in the last eight years, really good. I wrote this before I joined the Online Writing Workshop and started getting rid of my bad habits. It's kind of like a smorgasbord of all the crappy things I used to do. "Used to"--that's the phrase I like.
But I am still plugging away at Folly. I'm getting in my requisite 750 a day, sometimes more, and it is progressing. There was much speechifying and description in my session today, but I'm going to rise above those petty concerns and keep moving forward. Say amen somebody!
