Deep in Chapter 3
I had a crisis of confidence for a couple of weeks there. Partially convinced that the entire fic is terrible because I'm still not 100% sure what I'm going to do with all of the characters or what the entire plot is, or whatever. I'd like to be one of those writers who has things planned out from the beginning, but it keeps not happening.
This week, I started writing again. I just finished day 5 of a five-day streak of meeting/exceeding my daily word-count goal! EXCITEMENT.
Part of what sucks is this "middle" of the story. I have no idea how long the story will be, so it just seems to stretch in front of me endlessly. I've used up all of the initial, "Wouldn't it be cool if....?!" ideas.
I still have a few scenes in mind that I'd like to write, but those won't come up for a long time.
I'm having a really hard time making the CIA elements of the fic make any fucking sense (who'd've thought?!).
I'm deep in the middle of chapter 3. Either this fic is having a(n unrequited?!) Pezberry sub-plot or I'll end pulling all of it later for a separate Pezberry fic.
I'm bored as fuck at work lately have some free time, so if you have any blog posts or websites that you like with writing tips, drop those links like they're hot.
Current Word Count: 32,037 words (43% out of 75,000 word-count goal for 2012)
It might seem like this goal is unattainable given that we're at the end of September, but remember that I had epic surgery & awful recovery the first few months of the year, and almost all of these words were written after early June.
I feel confident that I can meet the 75,000 word-count goal by December 31st.

... yesterday I ended up making my wordcount goal for the year, somehow, even though there have been weeks (prolly months?) where I didn't write any fic at all. ^^;;;
So, yay, good luck to you! You're doing really well! :D & yay for your streak!!
(Also ugh I hate writing middles too)
