Well, I'm not going to lie to you, that was a close one. I spent about a solid two hours staring at my novel, realizing that, despite my outline I was getting nowhere.
Dennis Dunlop was just not showing up for work. I don't understand how that works. Sometimes the people you're writing about just call in sick or something.
I announced to Gayleen, in fact, that I was quitting, giving up, failing for my second year in a row.
Thankfully, she was able to, simply by being calm, de-escalate me.
I'm still not sure I'm writing a book anyone will want to read, but Dennis showed up, and now that he's here, things are going back on course. I'm a little behind, but I believe I will catch up now. I think the worst of the head pounding is over.
To my surprise, by the way, I think that, instead of being annoyed with Dennis Dunlop, Will is getting very quickly attached to him. That's remarkable, especially as he tends to dislike most men a great deal. That's very interesting, especially as it will have an impact on the climax of the book.
So, in short, I think I'll finish this time. I think.
And thank god for having a roommate around to talk me down.
I am starving.
That is ridiculous as I am undoing the last two weeks of dieting this weekend, I'm sure.
I'll get back on track Tuesday. Right now I need to run on heavy fuel.
More later.
