I had a great writing day earlier this week. I’ve been editing a novel manuscript and on Tuesday, I saw exactly what needed to be done to make it work. I knew what to add and what to tweak, with a clarity that is incredibly rare, at least for me.
It was like working on a plastic puzzle where you move around little squares, to make a pattern, and you play and play and play and just can’t see the way and then – there – you see it – and there’s lots of moves left to make but you know where you’re going now.
That was my day. I know where I’m going now. For this story. Of course, every story is its own puzzle that needs to be cracked. I need to remember this day when I’m stuck in the next puzzle.
