How's the Writing Going?

[snurri]

The novel was moving along swimmingly for a couple of months, there. Then I got stuck. At first I thought it was because I couldn't decide what to do with the Mississippi River, but it's really this scene with the guns, here. Right now I've got eight characters in a room waiting for me to decide what happens next. They are asking me things like, "Are you sure I need to get shot?" and "Doesn't all this tension seem a bit manufactured?" and "Do we need to keep pointing these things at each other while you figure this out?"

So there's your update.

Man, I wish I could work that way, but I have to do everything in order.

You're probably better off...I'm not exactly bringing in the big bucks! :D Good luck!

I write like you, and I personally am ROLLING in cash.

Well okay maybe not but I still think it's an equally valid approach.

I'm the same way -- I must write completely linearly, even if it means I get stuck on something for way too long.

My sympathies, friend.
