write a book

I wrote another 2,000 words or so this week.

I’m rolling the “2,000 words of fiction each week” goal into this one. That’s about how many I’d need to write one draft of a book in a year.

I tried working on the current chapter last night for about half an hour. (I already have six chapters, most of which I wrote during National Novel Writing Month.)

The problem I’m running into is that I keep rewriting what I’ve already got for this chapter. It’s all awkwardly phrased, and I can’t stand it. So I’m not making “forward progress.” Maybe I should just write some other chapter based one of the one-sentence ideas I have written down then come back to this one. I think that’s what I’m going to do if I run into the same problem tomorrow.
