Question Mark?
If I was a character in a cartoon or comic book "???" is what might be above my head at the moment. I seem to have fallen off the tracks at some point and am far from where I was hoping to be. Except for one scene, that doesn't really have anything to do with the main plot, my mind is drawing a total blank. I have ideas for events that will happen between now and the last few chapters, but they can't happen just yet. This is causing me to just about lose my mind. For the life of me, I cannot think of what to write for this chapter. Just about the only thing I do know, is that I am introducing a new character (though how big a part they will play after this chapter is a bit of a mystery). I will write the scene I have planned out, but where in the chapter it will be, I have no idea. Usually, I do not write like this. I have the chapter planned out and start from the beginning, since most of the time, at least some details change along the way. But with this chapter, I don't think anything will change the events, so I should be safe. As for the rest, I cannot say when it will come to me, but I hope it is soon.
With as far behind as I am, I don't think I will be making my deadline. There is still hope, but only if I can pump out 10,000 words a week. Right now, 5,000 seems impossible. But once I figure this chapter out and get back into the swing of things, maybe it will be possible. I can only cross my fingers and pray for a bit of luck. Maybe I need a muse. So if anyone has one I can borrow, please let me know!
I realized last night, as I stared at some of the books on the supermarket shelves, that I have not read in quite some time. Maybe a couple hours to read a good book and refresh my memory of what I am suppose to be doing will help get my mojo back. It's worth a try, if only to get in a bit of reading done. I'll have to pick the best one off of my shelf that I still have yet to read. Good or bad, hopefully it will get me back on track. (Good, it could inspire me and give me something to strive for. Bad, and I'll feel so much better about my writing that I'll have to work on it so my books can be on shelves instead of the drivel I forced myself to stare at.) Today is a nice day and hopefully it will lead to some nice writing. (Even though it is still winter in the book and not the sunny warmth it is here, which I sometimes forget.)
