I know how that is of course. I finally was able to finish chapter 13 a few days ago. I haven't even started chapter 14 yet, but soon in my book I'll have to pass some time by. It won't be months though. Weeks is more like it. I suppose it sort of helps that I am not super specific with my dates. I find ways around that to be honest. lol Keep at it girl! I know you'll do great!
@RandomFactor2000 I usually find ways around it too, but with this one, I need to be kind of specific because of the subject matter and I have something Awesome that I want to have happen, but it has to be a specific date because it really happened. I wanna tell you so bad right here. But I can't. I'll tell you later. And thanks. :)
I know what you mean, sometimes it's difficult to write about a sad subject when you're not feeling that way =/
Perhaps if you are feeling good, skip to a happy part of the story, and then go back and write the sad parts when you feel the need to express that feeling.
@TheLibraryOfSarah Bad thing is, it's pretty much all sad. And it's not that I'm not feeling sad but it's just like...idk..."why add on to it?" or I don't know. It's hard to explain.
@ILuvRobPattinson Yeah I see what you mean =/ I guess instead of seeing it as adding to it, see it more as a way to express your feelings. Either way, good luck on your writing.
I just want to get the part of my book I'm writing over with so I can get on to the fun part. It's about the Oregon trail.... And they're not even in Independence Missouri yet!
@Lauen324 For some reason this made me smile. Maybe it's because you're using actually "landmarks" so to speak to use as check points for your book. I don't know, I'm odd. But I know what you mean. I just want to get to the paranormal stuff and be done with the depression and funeral stuff.
@cocodollydear9 It varies. With my first draft of my first novel they ranged from half a page to ten. Which was bad. But with this one they are averaging 8-9 pages double spaced with 1 inch margins in 12 point font.
