Ok, so besides gremlins being in the shower with you(Deadline Dames reference), there is something else out there that can be very scarey. In fact, thinking about it, it could almost be a gremlin. It is....Shiney New Idea...Dun, dun, dun! Last night in the midst of a relaxing shower, I came up wtih SNI and had to write it down. So after getting out of the shower I wrote a couple of scenes and plot ideas and even shed a tear one of the scenes was so intense for me. And then...well it fizzled out. Hmmm, not sure if that means I don't have anywhere to go with it or what. Actually this idea touches a very important part of me so I think it has potential even though it would pull a lot out of me. However, I'm going to be grateful(I seem to be using that word a lot in my WIP) that it fizzled out for now. Because my New Years goal for 2010 was to have this WIP completed and sent out to find an agent. I will say though, that the sputtering idea is saved in a document titled "Random Ideas." There are some pieces or chunks in this case, of ideas that do not deserve to be discarded. Of course, as I looked at some of the other Random Ideas, I thought, "Mmmmm, may be not." Oh well, I can't be concerned with that. Now since curiosity and numbers and comparisons and calculating my progress are some things I'm obsessed with, I looked back to see how long it took me to write my first chapter. It took a couple days over a month. I have way more than 6 chapters, so clearly I picked up the pace and so I'm hoping to say the same when I make it to The End of 2D(second draft.)
I spent just about 35-40 minutes editing this morning + I worked out for almost 40 minutes and I took a shower. Woot, woot! Now I'm missing my baby and hoping he wakes up soon :)
