I have only a teeny bit more of the novel to do and the reviews/critiques/edits I got from the person doing a reader's critique (so far the first 2 parts) were so encouraging I am really feeling inspired!Wynn Bextonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606284153866696343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25637356.post-7790364931789727042010-11-09T19:35:41.399-05:002010-11-09T19:35:41.399-05:00Thanks, Debra! :) It's very exciting.

Yes, I ca...Thanks for sharing your comment, Debra!<br /><br />Yes, I can tell I'm in "create" mode right now. The chaos that comes with it is normal. I thoroughly enjoyed the "plan" mode where everything was logical and could be (and had to be) pinned down, made concrete and specific. I did a lot of work in that mode so I have a lot to draw from in creating, but now I must just "create" and let it become what it will become through this process.<br /><br />In this WIP, I am only adding in scenes that I had planned to summarize in brief paragraphs of narrative summary. I'm not creating and adding entirely new, unforeseen scenes. I had explored the story pretty thoroughly so I'm not running into "those kind" of surprises (at least, not yet). I always did run into that in every other novel I've worked on -- this is a first for me to have such extensive planning on this scale. I like it whole lot. It really helps counter the confusion that I suffer from when creating.<br /><br />So, now I just have to stay the course and keep writing. For seven more weeks. The word "marathon" comes to mind!<br /><br />Best wishes for your current WIP,<br /><br /><i>Adrian</i>Adrian Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531355795873701197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25637356.post-3320270079052629872010-09-24T18:27:16.789-05:002010-09-24T18:27:16.789-05:00Glad to hear it!
