I had a breakthrough today on my Glory Book 2 outlining. I figured out what my macguffin was, and viola, suddenly I can see the plot of the book. It’s dope. Fun. Exciting. I’ll enjoy writing it. All good things, and honestly, it’s the breakthrough I’ve been waiting for these past couple weeks of toiling away on this outline.
Whew!
Still got it.
I wonder if I’m going to feel like this every time…that every time I start a new book, I’ll be afraid that I won’t figure the story out? Might just be gun-shy because I struggled with that on my sequel to Starstuff. Maybe.
It’s crazy…I want to write the next couple books in this Glory series (thinking three more, actually, and if the series is doing strong sales, FOUR more with the last one being a reader list magnet and Book 4 ending on a cliffhanger of sorts so the series can continue—if sales aren’t strong, I can end the series with book 4)…wanna write those this year, and goddammit if I have the time…write that second book in the Starstuff series. I definitely know where the problem in the story is, and I know it’s fixable, it’ll just take time and sustained effort. That would be rather amazing if I could do all that.
Just need to keep getting my ass up on time. Which I didn’t quite do today, but I rallied for a writing session anyway! That’s the ticket 🙂
Coops is making his bed right now. So funny. Twirling and twirling toward sleep.
Dubs won. Steph did not break the all-time record for 3s, nor did he beat Klay’s single game record…but we still won. That all-time record is coming. Maybe their next game. Maybe the next game after that, but it is coming. And Steph might break his own single-season record this year, too. Damn.
He’s gonna win his third MVP. Book it.
Night night.
