Due to the
lack of concentration thanks to the wild ride known as life, I'm back to
blogging just to keep my creativity flowing. I guess typing out random thoughts
is better then not typing anything at all save stuff for work. At least here, I
can gather my thoughts, and post whatever I feel like. In other words, I wish I
could go back to finishing another novel,but my mind is so FUBAR that's it's
impossible to focus.
Then again,
as I'm sitting here typing this, I don't think life is the problem. I think the
problem is the same issue I had with any other novel: The Chapter 3 Syndrome.
Once I hit Chapter 3, I lost focus. I started of thinking of new plot ideas,
new characters, etc, etc. I finally sat down one day, and knocked out the next
three. Once I hit 6, I knew where it was going.
I think I
need to refocus, and just get the plot going. I got some new twists in 3, but 4
has me stuck. I have a rough idea where I'm going, but the first pages are
leaving me stumped. What I need to do is start where the story really gets
going, and start from there. It's not unusual for me to wipe out a chapter, and
start over. Chapter 3 in the new one got restarted two times before I finished
it. I already started this novel over once. A novel is never done till you submit
it. Oh well, will figure this out.
