How's your Monday going?

no rest
I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! For a while there it felt like I was wading through quicksand trying to get to the fabled ending of my tale. I was having trouble bridging where I was to where I wanted to be. So I wrote the very end, the last scene, and voila! Everything pretty much fell into place and I wrote a couple thousand words between yesterday and today. Go me!

Currently at work, not too bad, good to hear about your breakthrough!
ReplyDeleteI have sometimes written the last scene to cement it in my mind and help me get through a difficult in-between part.
ReplyDeleteOf course, when I actually get to the ending, I usually change the scene. Maybe not what happens, but most of the words get changed dynamically, because the characters have actually lived the in-between action now, and they have different things they want to say.
That's awesome! I need a clear ending so I know where I am going.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Sounds like you're really accomplishing a lot.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Marcy! I'm thinking that's what I need to do--write the ending and maybe a scene in the middle. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, now the rest of the week will be jolly fine for you :)
ReplyDeleteGo You! I wish I could write that much at one sitting. I wish I could write that much today, in fact. I really need to. So behind.
ReplyDeleteI love it when everything falls into place like that. I haven't written that much for a while now, but I hope that'll change soon.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. It sounds like you've reached a real milestone. Time to celebrate?
ReplyDeleteYay! don't you love when it finally comes together?
ReplyDeleteLately, every time I see light at the end of the tunnel, it's an oncoming train.
ReplyDeleteGlad things are falling into place for you.
Well done you!!!!!! The light is getting brighter and bigger and nearer!! Take care

YAY for getting there! Hope it all comes together well! I'm editing and have some spots that need work. I have a couple 'not-quite-done' in the pile though, that have some trouble coming together at the end... I need to get back to them...
ReplyDeleteWhoohoo! Pop that champagne and celebrate! Soooo happy all came together!
ReplyDeleteGo you indeed. Very very cool.
ReplyDeletePS: Sent you an email with what I got Tim - just in case he caught my post before getting home.
Don go into the light! Oh wait, that's a good thing in this case. I've written out of sequence upon occasion just to get some movement going. Writing backwards is easier than it sounds.
ReplyDelete.......dhole
Well done you!
ReplyDeleteSometimes an ending is all you need.
ReplyDeleteAnd my Monday's been stifling hot, thanks.
Go you!!! I'm struggling with my rewrite so I decided to take the night off and catch up with blogging! Hopefully that'll unwind my brain a bit!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, all it takes is a little perseverance for things to 'click'....glad it did for you :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Yay you! Congratulations on such a successful couple of days! :)
ReplyDeleteI spent the day unraveling the knot that is typically Monday.
Congratulations! My Monday was good. Productive, but not in a writing sense. However, it's geared toward writing, as it involved manual labor to complete my new office!!

Nice! Love when that happens! I always have to know how my story will end or I have trouble keeping a momentum as well.
ReplyDeleteYou're almost home! *highfive*
Wonderful! I love breakthroughs. Hope you're keeping it up!
ReplyDeleteI've been revising a YA. I'm nearing the end, and then off to the next victim.
Good job, all is well, love it
ReplyDeleteyay for marcy!!!
ReplyDeletekeep it up, woman!
and your pics are beautiful, as always.
and thanks for listing our rights!
I had to go out of town so I did zero writing yesterday. I'll just share in your accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed. It sounds like writing out the end scene clarified how to get there. Nice work (and also inspiring as a blunder through my current rewrite. Love your new picture at the top, btw.
ReplyDeleteI love this. I almost always write the ending first. Twice now my endings started out as Short Stories and then I added the beginning and middle. OK, I'm a little goofy.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I got things done, though not writing or blogging...
ReplyDeleteI'll get back into the swing eventually, but for now I have other demands on my time, so I guess something has got to give. Glad you are enjoying your writing.
Congrats! Nothing feels better than it all coming together.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I took a blog break and only returned yesterday. Now I'm trying to catch up from March and April before diving back into my WIP.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! It is awesome to have a breakthrough period when the words seem to flow out...
ReplyDeleteMy Monday was great! We drove to our favorite place and now I'm sitting on a mountain ridge for two weeks with very little planned. I may even get some writing done!
That is wonderful!!!! I love it when things fall into place when we least expect them to.
ReplyDeleteYAY! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the picture on your heading. Breathtaking!
It's great that you've found the light at the end of the tunnel! I'm still looking for the tunnel... I think I need better directions...
