I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted anything here. The past month in New York City went by so entirely fast and before I knew it, I was home again. While away, I only finished chapter twenty in Book Two. With that said, I wrote every single day I was there and even did some serious planning and character development for the series.
Getting to spend time with like-minded people for a month was so rewarding and has driven me to continue working on my craft and believing in my work. I also met a really great friend who supports my book and my writing and is there to talk when writer problems ensue. Coming home from the big city left me missing that "concrete jungle where dreams are made of," and because of that I had a hard time getting back into the swing of things with my writing. I recently did some more character development and planning and finally decided to sit down and finish chapter twenty-one. Let me just preface this by saying, it sucked. Quite simply the chapter I started in NYC completely sucked by the time I started working on it again. For some reason, cohesion in my chapters only comes when I sit down and write the entire thing. So instead of working on something that was clearly not going anywhere, I deleted the chapter and started from scratch. This afternoon I finished said chapter and it ended up being close to 25 pages! Now most of the pages will probably be cut but for now, pr-revisions, this amount is rather exiting. And my book is now 279 pages and the finish line is ahead. With only seven more chapters to go I can see the light up ahead and am excited to finish this installment in the Falling series!
