I'm trying to sharpen the main conflict between them and what they need from and can give each other, but I'm not worrying that I don't have it all figured out up front. Some things will come as I write. So, I made my word count. It's crap now, but I know that the real writing, for me anyway, comes in the second draft, when I start to shape the crappy words that are already there. tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00275588661342630474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142107479798156024.post-76154280110621720102015-04-15T18:41:48.256-07:002015-04-15T18:41:48.256-07:00First day- done. spewing words on pages is like pu...First day- done. spewing words on pages is like pulling out my large intestines through my mouth- you kinda wanna keep on going to see where it ends, but you know you'll never get there.
