My current word count is 4,074. I have to say I’m entirely impressed with myself. I’m not really sure how the plot points keep coming into my head, but I haven’t really hit writer’s block so far. I’ve had the urge to go back and read it and edit, though. Last night, part of me started hating the entire direction that I was going in, because it’s not exactly what I had planned out. When I go back and edit it later, there are definitely certain things that I forgot to add that will be important later, but I feel like I can’t go back now, or maybe I will. Who knows.
My concern is that I’m not going to be able to figure out what happens next once I get to a certain point and not be able to figure out what happens next.
Side note: I’m sitting down in the living room of my house, and other people are watching Georgia Rule, and Lindsay Lohan is sitting in a boat with Garrett Hedlund, and he has prettier hair than I do. Anyway…
I think my other problems is that people want to read it, and although I’m honored, I don’t know if I can write without judgement when they want to read what’s happening, because I’ll be writing for someone other than myself. So I either need to stop letting them read it, or just say screw it, and not care what they think. But I don’t want their opinion of my writing to be tainted just because they read the raw, untainted version rather than a prettier, fluffed up version.
Good luck to all, and add me as a buddy if you haven’t yet!
