Sorry that this is a little later than normal, but it's a holiday over here and I'll be honest, I just woke up about an hour ago. That's one of the perks of being an adult without any children. I thought about postponing this until tomorrow, but my schedule last week was a little messed up because of this holiday, and I didn't want to screw it up any more.
Anyway, the weekend wasn't as busy as planned, so I actually wrote some. I'm about 15,000 words into this new story and it's - surprisingly - going well. It feels like a NaNo story, though: I have no idea where I'm going with it. This isn't even an underpants gnome story; I have no middle or ending. I have a vague idea of what's happening and where I want this to go, but I didn't stop this weekend to plan this story out. My notecards at home aren't any help either: I think I have about six or seven of them and they all say things like, "Clem finds vamp" or "Clem and Pete in trouble". Well, obviously, Bree, since these two are planning on killing the most powerful vampire in the world. So I know I'm going to have to take a step back and maybe plan out some things, but I'm having a lot of fun just writing, seeing where these characters are taking me. Once I have it all figured out, I'll share with you guys.
That brings me back to Amory. It's only Monday, but four day work weeks usually go by pretty fast, and that means at the end of this week, I'm going to get back to her. After thinking it over, I realize that I hate the ending I wrote. It doesn't make much sense and if I wanted it to make sense, I would basically have to rewrite the whole two books over again. I don't know what I was thinking. So, instead, I sat on it for awhile. I pushed it all out of my head and waited patiently for some other idea to come to me. Luckily, we took a long car ride on Saturday and I do my best thinking in the car (fun side story: when I was a kid and teenager, whenever my mom and I would get in the car, the first thing I would say was, "I'm hungry." Perhaps I've replaced the food with ideas). So now, I'm going to try this idea out and see if it blends in better than the ending I have now. I hope so, because once I thought of it, I almost slapped myself because it was pretty obvious. So, keep your fingers crossed!
Okay, I accomplished something today, and that means I don't have to do anything for the rest of the day. I don't even have to change out of pajamas!
Sometimes being an adult is awesome.
