Week Two

Okay, so it's a little bit passed week two, but bear with me.

This last week was hard to keep writing. I totally lost steam and my creativity seemed to just fizzle out. I forced myself to write a little bit each day, which in turn made my dialogue sound forced. It was hard to sound natural, and it was hard to get my characters to do anything.

So a took a couple of days off, and let my creative juices reboil.

They didn't come back full force, but I was able to hammer out six pages today. I just kept in mind where I wanted to story to go, and how it needed to get there. It helped some, but I miss the days where I'd sit with my laptop open, music on and all of a sudden I'd be twelve pages ahead.

I'm on page 61 (technically 6 days ahead of where I should be), which means I have 39 pages left to tell my story. I'm not sure I have 40 pages of story left to tell! I don't want to fall short! That could be some of my creative hang-up. Too much pressure to fill the pages, not enough confidence that my story can handle it.
