Today I am trying to get another chapter done on a project my agent is shopping around. Actually we have been working with an editor on some changes–which I incorporated into the first three chapters and synopsis. But then I decided to go ahead and write some more of the book also with these changes in mind.
So, here’s the deal. I have the book plotted out–the synopsis is done. But I still have to write in spurts. What I mean by this is I think a scene or two ahead. So I finish one scene then I need a little break to decide what comes next. When I sit down to write that scene it comes really fast, but I need percolate time. Anyone else write like this?
Right now I am percolating. My protagonist has just started investigating a mystery of sorts, hit the typical dead ends–called the police, talked to neighbors, now what?? Hmm? And it has to be good…Guess I’ll go take a shower. Perfect place for percolating.
