I’ve finally gotten past the first three chapters of the first novel in this four novel thriller series. For weeks, I felt like I was spinning my wheels trying to write those first three chapters.
But, now, at last, I’ve gotten in the point in the story beyond the inciting incident. At the moment, I’m at a very unique moment in my life where I can write as much as I like. Unfortunately, I just don’t see this ideal situation continuing forever.
So, I’m going to use it as wisely as I can.
If things go as well as I hope, I should be able to simply follow the outline I have written and things will go really smoothly. A lot — and I mean a lot — could still go wrong to throw everything out of whack and slow things down considerably.
But you have to have hope. That’s part of the point of writing these four novels in the first place, to give myself hope.
