Plotting by hogwash
Feb. 8th, 2006 02:58 pmQuote of the day:
"Most people's lives aren't made up of stories with easily perceived beginnings and endings. Most people have to just muddle through as best they can, coming in somewhere in the middle, leaving before the outcome's known, half the time not even aware that they're in a story."
—Charles De Lint, Trader
Writing talk of the day: So, do you ever get that feeling, when you reach a big moment in your story which for all the months that you've been aiming towards it has seemed like a perfectly rational and logical progression . . . that it's really the deepest hogwash?
No, me either. Must be something I imagined or dreamed.
I may cop to having an uneasy feeling that I have yet again succumbed to plotting by stupidity. But that's not my problem. That's the second draft's problem. I think I'll let the second draft fix it on its own.
On another note, chapter 30 is now up on OWW. Chapter 29 has been in the underreviewed list for about a week now. Hardly surprising. It's a late chapter and BIG. Chapter 30 is even bigger. I have low expectations for the crit rate on that beastie, too.
