So I didn’t write for about two weeks. The first week was because I was in utah and did not have access to a computer. So it is excusable. The second week I was just lazy and wanted to play video games. I need to figure out exactly what I’m planning on doing so I can focus on it. I can’t focus on anything.
But I have ran into a few problems with my work. When I started writing that one short story I got frustrated with the quality and could not force myself to write it anymore. I think my ability as improved since then so I plan to rewrite it, this time in first person. But that almost happened to me with this story I got annoyed and started thinking it was shitty. But this time I started editing it. I changed passive to active and I removed whole sections. The first flashback sequence was removed because it was unneeded after the party scene because they did the same thing.
Then I removed the second party scene because I feel that it is kind of tasteless and ditches all of the characterization I was building for Anitta. Also with the possibility of her attending school what that scene was hopefully going to achieve was redundant and the foreshadowing I have been building counteracts with it.
I don’t want to have her go to school but I think it is a necessary adjustment because I can’t think of any other plot point that would naturally lead for the first climax I have planned. The second party scene could do it, but I really don't want to write it. It is not very fun. I mean I think I can get the bulk of what I need to do with school done in only 1000 words.
I fear that this is growing far too long and will be trapped in the limbo area between short story and novella. I could go through cutting everything that is unneeded to progress the plot, but it loses part of its soul that way. God I hated saying that, made me feel like a phony. Calling anything a phony would make me a phony because the only reason I would say that is because of catcher in the rye’s protagonist Holden Caulfield. But I was just referencing him. When you reference something and nobody knows it it becomes a rip off of sorts. I need to start referencing on some things that are more relevant.
I’m going to read an article to relax my hand before I start working on the perfect woman. I also need to update my blog. It is up to 150 views,I wonder who is viewing it.
