I had a day off from work. It was wonderful. I was able to spend it wisely; on my behind! I wrote well over 1700 words today, at my leisure. Without feeling pressed for time but still feeling like I have no idea where I'm going with any of it.
Plot is so difficult for me. So I dug out my copy of Plot & Structure by James Scott Bell and started reading again. I have two characters in my head whose voices are so strong. I just don't know what to do with them. But after reading a bit about Plot, Mr. Bell helped me realize that I'm totally stuck in the middle of the story. No beginning and definately no end. And that's probably why I feel like there isn't any movement in my story. Because there isn't. I ended up writing about my MC's beginning today.
I feel productive...but dang, i wish the road signs were more clear and the path better lit.
