I have been working through the first draft of a [nanowrimo][nanowrimo] novel. I’m not even sure when I wrote it. Some time ago I started breaking it apart into chapters in order to post them.
The project ground to a halt because I ran into two problems:
I had introduced a spoken interface into a communications link. I later decided this was not a good idea as it distracted from my barebones storytelling of this particular book.
This conversation partner interfered with the progression of the plot and I couldn’t quite work out how I got from one place to another. As a result, I was stuck.
Going back to it this week I discovered the logical problems did not seem so large or insurmountable. I just went ahead. This means the first five installments are more edited than the rest and another draft may be necessary along with spelling and gramatical issues. Nevertheless, I intend to post all of it so that it can be read and I can move on to other projects.
