The writing was good today.
Hasn’t been all too frequent I could say that over the past couple years, but the writing was good today. I finished a scene—really finished—that I’ve been wrestling with since I started writing this new book. It works now. I love it now. It gets to stay now.
Sure…it could change in the future. I haven’t finished the book, after all. But I’m not scared of THAT kind of rewrite. That’s a rewrite that comes with further insight. A better idea to nail down something that’s already working. It’s the writing and rewriting when in my gut I just know something’s NOT working that really scares me. It scares me because I wonder if I’ll ever get it right.
Well. I did. Today.
It was an earlier rendition of the scene that was the breakthrough. It just needed tweaking. Makes me wonder how inefficient my writing process is, that I’d spend weeks working on new versions of a scene when and older version was the one to go after instead. Then again…efficiency is relative. It’s always in comparison to something else that’s more or less efficient. Maybe my method is actually MORE efficient than other ways of doing things.
Good day today. Played music. Helped Liz with another audition. Our new camera setup really is wonderful to work with. It looks amazing AND it’s easier to work with. Love it. The DJ set was good, too. Very eclectic today in a good way. Work was great. Got everything done I needed to.
Good day.
