It’s been a while since I updated the writing diary but things have slowed down. Just harder to find the time to sit down and write, sadly, though I was able to add about 5,000 more words to it last week.
The novel has slowed down, not out of lack of interest, but just time. My time has become dominated by various other things that have to do with my real life job.
But I am excited by the novel and I continue to discover more and more about it as I go.
I had to do a timejump of about a year in the novel and this was initially captured in about 500 words. Now it’s captured in more like 7,000 words, which is sort of the consistent trajectory of this novel.
Expansion!
Discovery!
But I believe it’s all worth it. It’s all leading the right direction. All leading towards something grand and while I keep saying that I hope to be done in a few weeks, I think I won’t be done until the end of this calendar year, sadly. It’s taking longer than I wanted, than I hoped, but that’s not a bad thing, necessarily. Sometimes taking your time is the right direction, the right way to go about the work.
Anyway, about to dive back in.
