The great blue middle …

I spent most of my holiday weekend working on the second draft of Assassin 2. I wrote 8,869 words and now have about 82,000 total. I managed to move from chapter 13 all the way up to chapter 21. Only about 10 chapters to go. The end is almost in sight.

Unfortunately, this is always the hardest part for me. The closer I get to the end, the more difficult it is to make myself sit down in front of the computer. Because I’ve been working on this for weeks now and I just want to finish. I want to do other things, like finish the book I’m reading, clean off my desk, and just mindlessly sit in front of the television for an hour without feeling guilty that I’m not doing book stuff.

But I’ve still got those 10 chapters and 20,000 words to go. Ugh. I don’t like it, but I’ll make myself keep plugging along, even if it’s only for an hour at a time. Still, ugh. :hulk:

What about you? When do you hit the wall in your writing?

    I’m so jealous of your writing speed. I was busy most of the weekend with family stuff. We did see the new Indiana Jones movie, and we all liked it a lot. It was fun to spend time with Jones & Co. again. :joecool:

    Hey, I didn’t say they were good words. Just words. I’m jealous. I haven’t had a chance to see Indy yet. Maybe this weekend … :scooby:
