So I started the new BBW romance yesterday. Wrote nine pages. Liked the first three and am ditching the rest today and re-doing. ARGH! I hate when scenes start off good and then spiral downwards after a few pages - it means the characters are not working with the scene. *shaking fist in exasperation*
Nothing for it but to scrap those pages and start again.
I have to admit, writing those first few pages is so hard for me. Trying to introduce new characters and situations without:
1. hurrying them
2. dragging the scene out
Never mind. I fortify mysef with a Diet Coke *sipsipsip*, put on the music (just loving 'Let It Go' from Frozen (yes, you heard me right...the animated Disney movie), and AxeMan from Resident Evil Afterlife.
What? I hear you say. Isn't that two extremes? Hey, you're looking at someone who loves zombie movies like Dawn of the Dead and Resident Evil, and who proudly rents the latest Tinkerbell movie when it comes out!
