Welcome to the..Project
I have surpassed 46k and I am cruising along, feeling the flow. If today goes like planned, I should sail right by 50k with a wave and a laugh. Sure, it may be a maniacal laugh, but nay the less, I will be chuckling. That is the laugh of a man who is in the zone, doin' the dance, and knows full well that the end is so very far away. I should be frightened out of my wits, but I am not. Well, maybe a tad bit now and then, but that's cool.
Sometimes you just need a nudge to get you going on down the road. I took better 1/2's nudge and ran with it. By scribbling out a section near a thousand words long, I realized that she was more right then she knew. I did hit a bumpity bump and really did need to explain some of what was going on to make the beginning clearer. It worked. So silly goof ball that I am, I read what I have done in the proposed order it will appear and guess what? There are some holes I did not see.
You might say that this is bad in a first draft, it probably is, but it opened up a section I had thought about but had not scribbled down on the proverbial screen. And with that, it made what I had, make more sense and set up so much more stuff. More importantly, it opened the crack in the dam just that much more. So in a very real sense, it helped me get to the goal a little easier.
Last night also sucked just about all the energy I have right out my nostrils. It was flowing just fine, but exhausting and I sit here this morning, feeling very tired. But fear not my adventurous wanderers, I shall hit the story again in just a few short minutes. Mornings have become the very best time to get ideas out and put a few words down, if not a bunch. Then as the day goes by, add, add, add.
So the story did not advance in the sense of moving along the time line. However, it bulked up and got a wee bit meatier, maybe even bouncier. Oh the possibilities! So the main story is hanging around, taking a nap, while I add to what has already happened. You could say that the plot took a break for a minute and is havin' a cup of joe and a smoke. Not to worry, it won't be long now and then its time to saddle up and hit the trail.
