writing moment
Oct. 9th, 2006 11:33 amOh, last night was a good writing moment. I barreled through that chapter. I must have written eight pages in less than an hour. It still has a few pages left to go, but the plot has picked up again. The fateful meeting between Dana and Jeremy on the astral plane didn't have the intense insane impact I thought it would, but I can always go back and edit. That is what I keep forgetting: I can go back. I wonder if I should really have left the events of the flashback up to readers' imaginations, or show the full detailed scale of what he did to her and see what happens. It will be devastating and painful, and women who have been raped especially as teens might not want to read about even a psychic rape. But that hasn't stopped other writers. What makes a good writer is being able to pull out all the stops, not pull punches, to move in for a strike without mercy and apologize later. And Jeremy is a monster and Dana was innocent.
Wellspring. Literary. Literal. I am starting to believe this will be done before my 28th birthday.
