Yesterday was the end of the 2nd week of the year and things are really starting to move. I’m still in edit land, but I seem to be picking up speed.
My goal for this round of ROW80 is to spend an hour a day with my characters. Last weeks effort got me back into the swing of things and re-attached me to my story. This week I found the time of day that works best and in that time I’m finding my grove.
I spent at least 7 hours with my characters this week, edited over 100 pages, and added 700 words, I’m pleased!
During the last couple of months I realized my story was missing a couple of scenes. For the life of me I could not figure out where and what the scenes should be, but I knew I had a hole. Yesterday they came to me, I have ideas for both, although they are not fully thought through, I know I’m onto something!!
Yesterday I posted some links that I really liked this week, please take a look, and don’t forget about SixSunday
Have a great week and let your imagination sore!

I like the “spend time with my characters” concept. Having your story and characters constantly in your mind allows for breakthroughs–like the one you had 🙂
Good progress this week!
Thank you!! Some of the best writing decisions I’ve made since starting this book have been the easiest. When I stress I clam up and than nothing rolls out
Here’s to another even more productive week!!!
Fantastic news about your breakthrough! Sometimes it just happens when you spend time with the characters. They sort of lead you to where they need to go, you know? I’m hoping your next week is even better than this one!
Thank you, I hope it is too!! 🙂
I’ve had my characters talk to me before, but they’ve been quietly recently and I think it was b/c I was not listening
so very interesting!!
Woot woot on the breakthrough. That’s wonderful news. And GREAT week on hitting your goals.
Hi Natalie!!! I just read a blog post of yours today!! Very cool!! Thank you so much for coming by my site and for the wooting 😀
