Writing, rough draft, editing and other “fun” activities for today

Today has begun just like yesterday.

I am fighting my rough draft on the second book in my Zombie World Domination trilogy. I did not create as good of an outline as I normally do. So now I am paying for it. I fight the flow, I fight the characters in this book, I fight how to I say what I want to say in as few words as possible. If I published everything I wrote my book would me longer than War and Peace. Even I dislike the number of words that I write to express my idea.

I find that if I deleted the passage and start over it helps. Oh well, they said writing was fun. It really is fun – at times. Other times it is a real difficult process. Onward and upward I march on.

 

My back/neck where it was fused two years ago has started to hurt today. It does with the weather change. I can’t even go out to our shop to pound on steel to work out my frustrations. I guess I have to be satisfied with my Starbucks. It’s from all this sitting down I think. I’m looking to become healthier, but it has proven a bit more difficult than I thought it would be at first. I’ve been eyeing this product, looking at Bioharmony complex plus reviews, and it might just be what I need. I can feel that I lose motivation as I stop seeing improvement; there must be something I can do to keep up the pace so that I won’t give up. It’s a bit of a balancing act, but I’m learning as I go along as well.

Second novel in my Zombie World Domination Trilogy

Today is shaping up to be the same as yesterday. I am working on getting the flow correct on the second chapter. It would have been much better if I had taken more time to outline this novel, plus I had to get a Graco FastAction-Fold-Click-Connect stroller since she was walking on top of my work. I will never begin another without a solid outline.

 

To look at what I have done so far I am on chapter 7. To make it flow correctly I am on chapter 2. Oh well. I usually learn more from the lessons that beat my ass than the ones that I learn on the normal route. Novel two is coming along okay. It is still on track for early second quarter 2017.
