word count - 4000
May. 20th, 2005 11:35 pmI started a sequel to Spindrift on Sunday, but only got about 150 words done, and then wasn't quite sure where to go next. I had a very clear picture of the later part of the story, but not how it started. I didn't even try to do anything on it for a few days for various reasons, but something obviously unjammed last night, because I've done another 4000 words today.
What good this will actually do me in the long run, I don't know, because I'm not sure it's really going to quite fit in my publisher's catalogue. They're fairly broad-minded on what makes an acceptable HEA, but this one may be pushing it even if a relationship has moved to a better point by the end of the story. But even if I can't sell it, it wants to be written, and I have learnt that things that want to be written have a way of getting what they want. And it's not as if I haven't got used to plots taking my brain hostage...
And since at least two people reading this are interested - yes, my teeth still hurt and it's getting worse, no, it's *still* not clear which one and why. And it hurts badly enough that I wouldn't really enjoy being several hours travel from my dentist, so I still haven't made a final decision on going to the writer's weekend in Seattle next month.
