naomi_jayBeen working on SILVER KISS all afternoon and have managed to add in one much needed new chapter. OMG, it was hard work! I'm not a huge fan of the Tortured Artiste myth, let alone the Elusive Muse myth, but it really was hard to get going today. If there is a Muse, it was not with me today.
I knew exactly what needed doing, but a lot of it was what I think of as transitional writing; ie, not much is happening, but you need it in the novel to get to the action. I need a stronger motivation at this stage of the novel for Ayla to make a particular choice. This choice sets up the climax of SILVER KISS and it has to be strong and believable. I don't think it was in the original draft, and I'm still not convinced it is now. I honestly feel like I've been trying to get blood from stone today, and I don't think I've done anywhere near as much as I could. But I need a break, because I'm starting to get pissed off with myself. So. I've added another 2k to SILVER KISS, bringing the current draft up to 70k, and I'm stopping for the day.
I'm going to play with Wild until![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
chaostheory gets home from work, and then I'm going to have an enormous pizza. And nobody is going to stop me!
