So yesterday, I felt like writing nadda.  I brainstormed the new book Tuesday night, and woke up Wednesday morning with it on my brain.  It resulted in my not thinking of much else.  And on top of this, the scene I should have written yesterday wasn’t coming to me.  It was boring, until the last couple of sentences–or was going to be.  Brody follows the lawyer and where he ends up makes Brody curious, but the actual following is snooze city.  Instead of writing it, I started the next scene, when Nerina heads back to the office and spies Griffin talking with some stranger.  But I had trouble wrapping my head around them and away from Aubrey, Nick, Laurel and Tori.

I managed to write 2 pages and gave up.  So, today meant double duty.  I brainstormed more last night and woke up this morning fitting in another puzzle piece, but I was determined to work past it–to see if I could.  Like, “do I have the ability to be a genuine, professional writer” or “will I continue to not meet personal goals and therefore not meet professional ones some day”?

So, I pushed away Aubrey and the gang and concentrated on Nerina.  I finished her scene with Griffin, then went back and “wrote” Brody following the lawyer.  It only ended up being two pages, which is fine, and I guess I could go back and layer in almost losing him or something semi-exciting, but it would only be filler and not pertinent to the story.

But either way, I wrote 7 pages today–wahoo!  And my next scene is Nerina and Brody meeting face to face for the first time in four years.  I really need to make this one full of all the anger, arousal and sadness Nerina is feeling upon seeing him.

Now I’m able to get back to Aubrey and the gang.  I can finally write down what came to me this morning.  If I still remember it.

I’m really glad things worked out how they did today.  I learned just what I have in me, and I likie!!!
