The WDC NanoLounge

My NaNoWriMo goal was to finish a book I started ages ago. I've been struggling with that since the beginning of the month. When I work on the book it screams problems.

I've been on WDC for a while now. Lots of people have reviewed my writing and I've learned an incredible amount. Ok, I don't apply my learning well, but that's my problem!

I've learned enough to know, maybe subconsciously, that there are serious flaws with the book I thought of years ago before I came here. The plot wanders, it's full of unnecessary charcters, I don't "get" the main character. It DOES suck.

So... I'm ditching it. CPR has failed. Even if the book lives, it will be brain dead.

I'm starting again with a better book. It breathes for me. I want to see what happens in it. I like the main character. I like her children. I like the supporting characters. The plot builds properly. I love the ending.

I may crash and burn on word count, but this is the right thing to do.

Write on!
