Crushed. It. Today.
I wrote for six hours today and got a shit ton of this outline done. Almost to Act 3. I can be more economical with my words; I don’t need to write the entire freaking scene. Just outline it. It’s enough. I’m going to have to dive in and reinvent stuff when I actually WRITE the scene, anyway. Leave some room.
^^^ Pep talk for myself up there. I just had the realization today that I can pare things back. Move a little swifter. So long as the structure of the scene is there, and some clues to mood, theme, action, etc. I’m good. No need to full-on write the scene. Not that it will hurt me. I doubt it will. It’ll be nice, I think, to have some detailed prompts here and there. But in the interests of finishing this damn thing…I’m good. Get it sketched out, make it just vivid enough, and then move on.
I’m close. Hopefully get a really nice long day in tomorrow, and Thursday, too. We’ll see.
Happy Birthday US. LOTS of fireworks outside tonight. We don’t like it. But thankfully the dogs are fine. They’ve ignored the sounds really well.
Night night.
