I did not write last night. That makes three days in a row. I think part of it is the fear that what I've already written is garbage. I feel good about small moments of it, but I know there are problems in the story. I think I can fix them, but I guess I'm just scared.
I am also concerned that I'm going to put the time in to finish the story and it's going to end up being much shorter than I first imagined. I was hoping to write at least a novella, so about 20,000 - 35,000 words. That seems like a goodish length to charge people money for. Shorter than that and I feel that the story probably does not have enough depth.
What I have discovered is that stories are not about plot. They are about characters. Right now my characters have come to realize that my original plot was not well enough thought out.
I'm going to take some more notes today and hopefully find my muse tonight.
