The Worst Note

This is one of the worst notes I leave myself. Worse than “terrible.” Worse than “full rewrite.” Very short means I couldn’t even write 2,000 words in a chapter, which means there just isn’t much here. Not enough conflict. Not enough plot. And yet we have to get from A to B. Have to plant SOMETHING in this garden.

But at what cost? Filler? More description? An extra shower scene? Inter-dimensional cable?

Make no mistake, my friends… writing is one of the most fun and fulfilling things you can do. But fixing a pothole smack dab in the middle of a 400-page novel is just plain hard work.

But you’re worth it, dear reader. You’re worth it.
