I wrote about 3000 words this weekend. Some of it is still on my Neo. It was all for the same novel--A Hollywood Miracle. I decided to go with this novel based on pure logic--it was closest to being finished.
When I sat down to write yesterday, I really didn't want to. My husband and daughter were taking up both computers by playing a networked game (Doom of all things. I can't believe I'm letting my daughter play Doom. At least it's the 90s version), so I couldn't even get to my manuscript. So I got out my Neo and my notebook and tried to find an untranscribed scene. But they were all transcribed. I looked at my outline (which is in my notebook) to see what should come next, and I started working on some scenes to up the tension between John (the actor), Max (the stunt man) and Karen (Max's friend). That accounts for about 1000 words.
I was very proud of myself for a) sticking to the same novel all weekend, b) writing even though I didn't feel like it and c) managing to come up with a good, conflict-filled scene anyway.
Which title do you like better, A Hollywood Miracle or The Stunt Man's Miracle?

Congrats for sticking to it! Sounds like you've proven the BIC principle :).
ReplyDeleteOh--and I like Hollywood Miracle best.
Thanks, Cheryl. I DID finish a scene that was bugging me to be written from my time travel fantasy, but that was before the weekend.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for your vote.
I'm glad your writing went so well last weekend that's always gratifying. {BIG SMILE}
ReplyDeleteI don't know whick title I like best. A Hollywood Miracle flows better, but The Stunt Man's Miracle seems slightly more unusual. {Smile}

Thanks. I kind of struggled through the rest of the week, just trying to make the story coherent.
ReplyDeleteThat happens sometimes. {sympathetic smile} I hope the story is still working out for you. {SMILE}
