"A Problem Page For All!"

I'm getting discouraged. Today's writing didn't go well. I think I'm writing a sensationalist romance rather than the lofty social commentary I was picturing. It took all my energy just to bang out 2,000 crappy words today. The first chapter is semi-good only because I've been editing it rather than writing new material. Waaaah. I wanna cry. They said week two of NaNo was hard; I didn't know it was this hard.

But thank you for saying you like it. I'm a third of the way through. I've got a little more than 18,000 words. I can't wait to get past the halfway mark -- maybe that'll boost my morale.

After I'm done, I'm going to print the mauscript and burn it.

No, just kidding. I'm going to let it sit until March, when I'm going to edit like crazy. Then I'm going to try to get it published.

At least, this is what I'm telling myself I'll do. It's all that's keeping me going. That, and I want to know if Adelice will actually propose to Laralyn before I succeed in murdering both of them. I hate all my characters. I hate it all. I am in a foul mood. Whoever thought that authors could hate their characters as much as I do mine?

Waaaaaah.

But, thanks for your praise. That made me feel a little better!
