2,477 words written this week.
I'm going full-steam-ahead on the novel, closing in on the last dozen scenes or so I need to write to finish it out.
Each new scene, I still think to myself "I don't know if I can do this." But if I just sit there long enough, staring at the screen, and refuse to budge, or to look away, the words will come.
They may not be the right words, or good ones. But they're progress, the raw material I can use later to shape the story.
Pushing ahead on the novel means I'm not going back and revising the short stories I wrote over the Writers Conference weekend. That bothers me, but I'm honestly not sure how to do both. Perhaps once I finish this novel draft, I can pause and revise the short stories before plunging back into the book for another editing pass?
What about you? How do you balance multiple projects? Or, like me, do you find it hard to switch between different works?
