Stumbling forward

After giving up writing for the 1,409th time I got over myself and started writing again. Then I got stalled because a plot thingie was not falling into place. Since I am getting perilously close to the climax of this novel, I couldn't really progress without the cooperative plot thingie. So I had to occupy myself with other things while the backbrain figured it out (I could come up with nothing via the frontbrain). My usually dependable backbrain was not cooperative. Instead of taking a few days, it took a few weeks. Just when I'd reached the point where I thought I'd have to lay aside the novel for awhile and concentrate on rewriting last year's novel (in fact, practically as soon as I said that to another writer), the backbrain came through for me. So I'm moving forward again. A bit of a crawl, but that's okay. It's forward. That's all that matters.

Oh, and I had to get real with myself. No way this thing is coming it at 100k.
