FYI for folks that don't know been working on a book for 3 years.
Over the last 45 days been feverishly writing, and very proud of my work. About two weeks ago wrote the climax, which is huge point, cause once you get too climax, you end the book, it's done, and lord do I want this to be done, my patience is wearing thin. I want a life with more than one focus, which is kind of been how things were, read my location under sig, it's not a joke.
So, after finished climax re-read it and it was completely horrible, it said what I wanted it to, yet in a very way hard to understand, and also it did not match rhythm and flow of rest of book.
Last two weeks been holed up in corner with dunce cap on trying to plot my way out of this, have scribbled notes upon notes and hours upon hours stairing at walls. A week ago it started to come to me one morning when I woke up in bed, I knew it when I had it, yet the formation of that idea was half-baked, now I had to cook it. So, fried the old brain thinking thinking thinking thinking. Had a few small eureka moments along the way.
Yesterday got the breakthrough moment, and thanks be I knew it, I was fist waving, high fiving myself, yup this is the idea.
One problem was that I had figured out 90% of it all, couldn't get that last 10% to come, and that last 10% had been hanging for six months.
On Saturday I will re-write the climax. Today, just hours ago I started to map it all out, ten pages of outline, and low and behold as I outlined this stuff, all of a sudden the invisible answers appeared as if by magic and they were 100% spot on the money.
I am so amazed, I'm amazed, some just handed me a nice big present.
All's I have to say is "Amazing Grace" that even a wretch like me can have a great day.
And I wish each and every one of you the same feeling.
A big PS to keiser who motivated me along the way on the hard days.
Thanksgiving came early.
