Update
For the past two days I've been working on chapter 15--if not on the computer, in my mind. It's the climate of the external conflict. Up the stakes-up the ante. If they don't come through this chapter, there will be no chapter 16 for them. No internal conflicts to ponder in chapter 16, no resolution, no marriage and certainly, no children.
I must be growing. I've realized I'm not writing in chronological order. I had her scene up to the point where he comes tumbling down the yacht stairs having just been hit up the side of the head with the butt of a gun--then I had his scene from the point of where he's found out where she is and makes plans to rescue her. I'm even wondering if I should have the yacht sink after the bad guy has been killed. (probably make the scene too long) I'll work on it. the worst that can happen, it could be dreadful. :-)
No, no NO! I have to break up these scenes. So that is what I did today. It's still not a hundred percent but, it's better. All this to the background music of Swan Lake. (sigh) I can hear the splashing of the the stormy lake waves in the background.
And, I can look out over Lower New York Harbor. Not stormy, but water, non-the-less.
there is one disadvantage about setting your computer at the window so you can look over the water. It's called sunlight and it blinds your screen so you can't SEE it.
I must be non-settled today. I got antsy reading the next Nora Roberts (The Three Fates) A very interesting account of the sinking of the Luisitania.
I might move my laptop onto the floor, under a window seat and see if I can function a little better. I really wanted to get this done today. I wonder if its a matter of--if it's not done, I can't send it out. If I can't send it out, it can't get rejected. If it doesn't get rejected, I can live under the assumption that I might just be good, hiding all that great talent from the world. Hah! There's a bit of rationalization for you.
Happy Reading, writing and revising.
