Hold that thought...
So after writing for a few weeks, I've realized that I'm just not ready to write much more than the first few chapters yet. I knew I had some stuff I still needed to plan out, but after some thought I realized that I still had a lot to plan out. I'm talking, huge amounts of info here. I knew I needed to define my "bad guys" more, I realize now that there is a lot to define. For instance, I need to find the root of their evil. I need to figure out why they are the way they are. Most people aren't bad for the sake of being bad, there is always a reason. It's been my job to figure that out and I think I've got it. Still, there's more to do. So, to avoid having major holes in the plot, I've put writing on the back burner again to really focus on making the story as flawless as possible.
I made some real progress on this whole planning situation this weekend, and I really feel like I'm going in the right direction. It's so funny but some days I'm so excited about where my story is headed, then other days (like today) I think that maybe I should start all over again. I swear the position of the planets change my mood a few times a day. It's crazy, really.
Add to all of that, the Superbowl was yesterday (Yay Steelers!), and the NASCAR season officially starts in a few weeks, (The Bud Shootout is Saturday. Go Junior!) this all put together equals me being scatter-brained. Plus, I've eaten so much chicken (wings, fingers, nuggets, you name it) in the last 48 hours that I'm surprised I haven't begun to grow feathers yet. I just need to focus, plan and write.
Focus, plan and write. OK, I can do that.
