As I work on my novel I am making the mistake (and I KNOW I am making the mistake) of re-reading each chapter over and over and over. Thus, I have trouble moving forward.
Today was a good example of that.
I had a great idea for a new chapter but first I decided to give a 'fast read' through the 100 or so pages that I have written already. As a result of doing that and getting bogged down time and time again I never did get to my new chapter. And now at day's end the great idea for my new chapter doesn't seem so great. It was great 10 hours ago and I should have captured it on paper then.
If you are a writer don't make the mistake I made today! Keep moving forward. There will be lots of time to re-read when you are finished. And, lots of others to help you do it too.
I have a great evening planned (?) as I head off to my condo AGM.
Have a nice evening all.
Love
Carol Ann
