So I've talked a lot about my difficulties going back and forth between too much freedom that I didn't know what to do and too much planning that I didn't have creative freedom. Last week started off all right, but by Wednesday, I was fighting to write just a few pages. Being past the halfway point if obviously fantastic, but now I am at the crunch so I have to write certain scenes on certain days and that's not usually how I operate. I finally realized what was happening on Friday and switched to a different POV to keep things from getting stiffling. That seemed to work pretty weel. So I've worked out a basic schedule for the next six weeks that keeps me switch perspectives every couple of days; that way, even though I'm under the clock, I'll keeping everything fresh.
Obviously, since everything fell apart my Weekly Stats are dismal 40 pages for the week - as if I skipped an entire day of writing. Saturdays have now been added to my weeks. I won't be working a full 9-5 on the weekends, but in addition to writing, I need to start editing what I've already written. Some of that is going to have to happen on the weekends.
Later today - maybe during lunch, I'm going to post another update, so watch for that. Until then, this is it for now. Sorry it's so short. It's really crunch time now.
