How’s It Going:
Not great, apparently. I keep forgetting to post. And on top of everything, I’ve been having nerve pain in my left arm for a couple of months now and it just makes existing painful, so there’s that.

I was really struggling the week after my last post, then the next week I was considering just calling it, but I got to talking to Andrew at work and I had a brilliant but horrible idea that realistically didn’t add much to the word count. Then an even better idea combined with the realization I hadn’t finished the finale at least pushed me a little further.

Last week I tried to (better) organize what I already have, because I know I’m missing stuff in the middle of the story, but I’ve been having trouble pinpointing what. That’s kind of the fun part of writing a story; it’s complete in my head, but not on the page (or screen, at this point), and I can’t remember what I’ve written and what I haven’t. It becomes painfully obvious during revision, but that’s also a different process. I don’t want to comingle the two right now. TL;DR, I didn’t write much.

I did get my words for today (despite getting distracted by how ridiculous seafood prices can be), and have a good scene going now that may chew up tomorrow’s words too. But I swear if I don’t post something now, I am just going to keep being a trash can.
