Okay. Have not blogged in a bit. But I just realized something. For some time, I have wondered if I am just dense. So many times I accept things at face value, and find it easier to just roll with it. I mean, so often I am faced with a problem and, rather than solve it by looking at it from a new and different perspective, I just find a way to live or work around it. I have been wondering if this means I am stupid; like I can’t think of solutions. Well, I was just writing (don’t let anyone ever tell you writing is a waste of time! you learn the most amazing things) and my character admits that she sees things out of the corner of her eye all the time. One could easily explain this away as a peripheral reflection, a trick of the light, a flutter of one’s hair in the wind. My character always just says “must be fairies.” I am this way with certain things. Rather than trying my darndest to understand some things, I usually find it so much easier (and more calming) to chalk it up to magic. I will never be a professor, or engineer, or great leader this way, but I will be much more fanciful and interesting (and will continue to admire and loath people who aren’t so distracted by such things.)
So yes, for all of March I have been very diligently working on my novel every Tuesday and Thursday. OMG – what a mess. I have FINALLY moved out of the real-world, and have come to the conclusion that, at least for the next version, I will probably cut all of what I have written OUT. It is not really part of the story. It is good for me to know what comes before the story actually starts, but it really has no point as far as plot goes. If it turns out I need to reference things as things progress then yes, I will probably add parts back in. But as of right now, that’s the plan.
And god I’m hungry for Mexican food!
