OK, whatever that was this morning, wasn't just cranky. I think I was a homicidal maniac for a couple of hours. I attempted to write for those hours, but it was literally impossible b/c my brain wouldn't work (homicidal maniac zombie?) and my soreness made me want to stand up every two minutes to stretch. Finally, when my mom came home, I gave up and went back to bed. Slept about 2-2.5 hours. Woke. Felt half-OK - still Blah. Did I mention that I slept at least 8 hours last night? I hope I'm not turning into a vampire.So today and yesterday combined, I wrote about 1800 words. More today than yesterday (very busy yesterday & tired in the evening... stupid fireworks). I'm at a total of 6721 words, but I don't think it would've been humanely possible to get more. I hope nothing like this happens again.
You'd think I'm all energized from my nap, but I've been Zombie all day. I finished my Chapter 3, though, which accounts for half my novel atm. I don't think I've written a longer chapter before lol. I might split it into two parts to email, or make you guys wait very long.. not sure yet.
On the other hand, I continued reading King's On Writing today and discovered, to my delight, that he's pretty much the same way about plots as I am. (Sometimes they work, most times they don't, ones that you well make, are also the ones that you well hate). So I'm using his suggestion, to make an "What if ___?" statement and just go from there, not worrying about the ending. I made the What if statement and so far, every time I got stuck, I reread it, and I was right back on track again. I'm so glad I got that book!
