Well it’s been a month since my last progress report and it hasn’t been a good month! I wrote 3,500 since my last progress report. My goal is 2,000 words per day… I couldn’t even muster 4,000 in almost a month! I got bogged down with my second major case of writer’s block. I started to question the story and I felt my thriller was becoming a historical piece vs. a thriller!
I read James Frey’s “How to Write a Damn Good Thriller and it’s helped me get back on track for the final push. I’m towards the end of my book so I need to keep writing. Writer’s block be damned!
I’m writing another post about my recent writer’s block so I’ll have that posted here in the next few days.
