Work Wednesday: Drilling Down

Beyond finishing up the redecorating (yay!) and regular work, writing took an interesting turn this week. I hit a crucial plot point, thinking I had it all worked out.

Then, the closer I got to having it revealed in the text, my confidence in it weakened. Until I was convinced it wouldn’t work the way I had sketched it out in my mind. This brought on a minor panic and writing to a screeching halt.

I spent a few days drilling down on the specifics until I was sure I had it fully mapped out. Many of the details won’t make it into the book, but I needed them worked out in my head to continue.

I’m relieved, because for a while there, I was afraid I would have to go back and rework large swaths of the novel to fix it. So I’m going to say this work week was a win.

How is your work week going?
