Anyway, my low word count wouldn't bother me so much if I didn't have other ideas vying for my attention. It's like having my nephew in my ear all day going "auntie, auntie, auntie," which he does whenever there isn't a game controller in his hands. But the ideas just buzz around in my head going "write me, write me, write me!" And they sound so much more appealing than fighting through the bog that is the middle of my novel (it's been too long since the four had to fight so I think I'll give them some exercise. Other than that, got nothin'). And not all of them are new ideas; most are just parts to the other WIP's I've put a hold on.
- Tanessa and Brandon's life on the run
- Just what, exactly, Hope and Loki find in the city
- Nicole's introduction to the secret world around ours
- Getting Mia and Noah to the snowy kingdom in the mountains
All because I picked up that UF short story collection at the library in October.
Octavia and Natalia both insist on having more than a short story, and I like what they're saying, but they're getting in the way of finishing Serpenttongue. I would really like to avoid putting it on hold to explore another idea. I've done that already, more than once. I want to buckle down and get one finished!
But as the fight gets tougher that UF starts to look better.
I guess I could work on both...ugh, that's going to take quite a lot of time, but it might make the ideas shut up for awhile.
