Jobsworth

I suppose that I should probably have managed to get more done over these last few days, but I’m satisfied nevertheless. The plot outline for Muse-that-was is now complete; 83 notecards (or rather Impress slides, but let’s not quibble) worth of stuff, which I shall proceed to sort through on Sunday, are the final result. [...]

Slacking

Okay, I confess, I’ve not been much with the writing lately. Not because of lack of time – I’ve had plenty – more because of a lack of motivation. I’m sick of the sight of the novel formerly known as Muse. I’ve spent most of November working on writing an outline of the current plot [...]

For the sake of argument, morning ends at 1:30pm, okay?

333 / 333 (100.0%) Done. And now onto other things.

Twenty

313 / 333 (94.0%) I’m procrastinating, but I think I’m allowed to procrastinate just a little. I have but twenty pages of manuscript left before the first pass edits are done on the project-formerly-known-as-Muse (let’s just call it The Novel and have done with it; I haven’t got a damn clue what title I’m actually [...]

When the muse doesn’t come, sing

The muse is, rather ironically, ignoring me tonight. Not in the sense that I’m suffering from what I’ve rather tediously referred to in the past as writer’s block; more accurately in the sense that I can’t seem to find any real desire to work on the Muse manuscript this evening. It’s probably because I got [...]

Clicking along on bright rails

252 / 333 (75.7%) Just eighty-one pages to go. Well, probably. I can’t remember whether or not, somewhere in those eighty-one pages, I’ve written a message in caps to myself, telling me that I need to fill a bit in. In fact, I’ve just come across one such note at the end of page 252, [...]

One of the good bits

222 / 333 (66.7%) After last night, when I did no editing whatsoever because I was, to put it mildly, in a blue funk, tonight came as a pleasant surprise. Tonight I got to edit one of the really good bits, one of those bits that doesn’t need a lot of editing because it’s almost [...]

The Glue

15 / 333 (4.5%) Someone has poured glue into my head. Whoever they are, I wish they hadn’t, but it’s here to stay for a while and it does not, let me tell you, make life any easier. Editing is out for the time being. I managed to get through two pages of Muse before [...]

Back to the beginning

11 / 333 (3.3%) Oh well. At least I’ve started, which is something. The editing was more brutal than the last time, I think. I was more willing to cut the bits that made it wordy, and better still the bits that made it boring. I’m still afraid that I’m going to cut out a [...]

94

94 pages done, 239 pages to go. Bien. I have the nagging feeling, though, that I’m missing something. It’s almost as if, footling around with the words as I am, I’m not seeing the big picture of plot and story and character. I know there are sections – huge great wodges, in fact – of [...]
