doc_destructoMan, it was really tough getting my word count in tonight. There wasn't a whole lot going on at work, but there were some periodic interruptions. I mostly started head-butting against my plot. I've had to constantly work to put off starting my third act with the "ticking timebomb" (i.e. that things need to wrap up soon because the protagonists are on the clock).
As it is, I think I've started to depart from the humorous short scenes that started the novel and I just know I've finally indulged in one of the standard writing cliches for exposition. Or something. I just feel a little disappointed with things right now and am starting to have doubts about my big "twist" and stuff. Maybe I just need to have some time off from the novel tonight and get some drawing done instead. Or maybe I'm just spiraling into mediocrity! Oh no!
Oh well, still keeping up with word count at least.
