Writing delays…
So…I’m currently nearing the end of chapter 14 of Genesis, so I only have two more chapters to go after that. However, last week I caught my wife’s cold, and I don’t know if any of you have ever tried to write with a cold, but it just doesn’t work. It’s hard to put coherent thoughts together when your head’s all blocked up and you generally feel like crap. I tried to write a little this morning, but I’m just not there yet. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow I can get back to it.
I’m on the downhill slope of it now. Hopefully I’ll be over it by tonight. I missed both my gym nights last week because of it, so come hell or high water I’m going tonight. Even if I don’t have the best workout because I’m still recovering, I need to get back in there.
That’s it for now. I’m excited because the end it getting close, but I’m also incredibly saddened by it. It’s been a great run, and my characters will always live on in my heart, but there are new stories to write and new characters to meet, so that’s where I’ll be going next. As I said in a previous post, the next one is going to be rather dark, just because I want to change things up a bit, so that’ll be an interesting experience.
Things are winding down on Genesis…
I’m in the middle of chapter 15 on Genesis now, and things are starting to wind down. It’s a bittersweet thing for me, because for the past three years these characters have been my family, and now it’s all about to come to an end. That being said, I think the storyline I’ve written for Jarrod in this book is not only a fitting end to the series, but it’s some of my best character work to date. I already know how it’s going to end, so right now I’m just filling in the rest to get to that point. I truly believe that anyone who’s read the series will find this to be an emotional and satisfying end to it all.
That’s it for now. I’m doing some writing this morning so I can get to some other work I have to do for my job this afternoon. Hopefully I’ll have the book finished by early next week at the latest, and then I can get started the editing process.
