It needs to be reworked. The good news is it probably doesn\u2019t need to be ripped apart. I think I can salvage some of the main plot points, and by shifting the focus to the main character and adding in someone who will be more of a foil than a tag-along might make it work better.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>NOVEL<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe current novel-in-progress sits at about <strong>35,000 Words<\/strong>, so just under halfway. Since I\u2019m in the middle of things, that initial sense of excitement over a new project &amp; new world have given way to the grind of sitting down and getting the work done.<\/p>\n<p>I just have to keep pushing through, keeping my eye on the end, and knowing that I can fix things in the edit. Sometimes, it&#8217;s difficult to remember that, especially on days when the words don&#8217;t come or they suck.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>SHORT STORIES<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe last few stories I\u2019ve written have been different than my usual fare. Different voices, a new approach. One came to me in 2 days and I love it. The other, I struggled with off and on for a month and now it sits unfinished until I can figure out how to make it work. Either way, it was nice to shake things up a bit.<\/p>\n<p>I have a few other ideas that I am itching to work on, along with getting back to editing the novel(s) and thinking about <a href=\"http:\/\/nanowrimo.org\/en\/participants\/myrrh\/\" target=\"_blank\">NaNoWriMo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>NANO<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI have a story seed (i.e. an idea that I haven\u2019t yet done any major brainstorming on to see if it will actually work).<\/p>\n<p>My <a href=\"http:\/\/maryrajotte.com\/blog\/portfolio\/\">short stories<\/a> tend to be horror. My current novels-in-progress are more suspense\/thriller. This idea is more adventure. Kind of excited to (again) try something new.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>SCHEDULING<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nMy goal while doing the <a href=\"http:\/\/millionwordchallenge.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Million Word Challenge<\/a> was to have at least 2 projects going at the same time &#8211; one (or more) writing, the other editing. So far, I haven&#8217;t been very good at that.<\/p>\n<p>That story that came to me in 2 days was kind of a fluke. I\u2019m one of those writers who needs their idea to sit and brew a while before I can get it to where I want it to be.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, editing has taken a backseat as a result. I know that skipping NaNo would probably help in that regard, but I just can\u2019t say no to that seat-of-your-pants writing challenge. Especially with so many other people taking part at the same time &#8211; it helps keep me on task. Maybe I need to give <a href=\"http:\/\/www.test.nanoedmo.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">NaNoEdMo<\/a> another try next year. Or just find other like-minds who are editing at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s where things stand. It all seems a bit chaotic &#8211; and it is &#8211; but it\u2019s all good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dizzying status report of my current
