I’m definitely becoming the sort of person who just isn’t comfortable unless he’s done some writing during the day. In fact, I had a little free time before my meditation class today, so I ended up starting Part V: “Coiled” of Snake, just because I had the time and I felt tlike writing. I didn’t finish the chapter, but I’m going to do that right now, if only to just get it out of the way. Afterwards I’ll study for my final on Wednesday, which somehow through luck or random chance or God’s decision-making process, is my only final. After that, I might work out or go for a long walk. And after that…maybe I’ll start the next chapter. Depends on my mood.
Okay, now that I’ve talked about my day, I’ll get to Snake and what goes on in Part V. This section of the novel features a huge fight scene, where the Snake and his allies take on some of the worst of the family the Snake has been hunting. The Snake goes up against Frissora, the nasty mercenary I mentioned a few posts back, and after that, some crazy stuff happens that gets resolved in Part VI.
After I’m done with this part though, I’ll be in the home stretch to finishing the first draft of Snake. After that, I’ll leave it alone a while so that when I go to edit it, I’ll be looking at it with fresh eyes. And in between getting my critiques on individual chapters of Reborn City, I’ll work on short stories, which I may or may not turn into a collection of short stories.
But for now, I’ve just got to keep writing, one chapter at a time. Thankfully I won’t have to write any more sex scenes or anything like that; that would be awkward!
