Crap! In working on the Jimmy Jean story, I seem to have written myself into a place I didn't want to be. I think it's a better story than the first draft, but it's morphed into a retelling of The Blackout, which I didn't want at all. I wanted it to be new, and I absolutely didn't want to give anything away when it comes to what happens in The Blackout. So, now I'm stuck. I think I'll have to consider what to do with it for a few days, and where to take it. I'd really like to skip over a few months, go right to Jimmy's final moments and end the story, but I can't really do that, lol. Seems like it's all or nothing. Any suggestions people?
Oh! Yesterday I rolled over 3,000 total sales! Yay! Thank you everyone! And keep those positive and constructive reviews coming! :-)
Hi Steph: don't feel like you're being picked on. The very same thing happened to me in my second story. Me personally, I think you're doing the right-write thing (see what I did there?) Just walk away. Think about your characters when you fall asleep, run different scenarios through your mind's eye, imagine different outcomes and inserting or deleting parts here and there...and before you know it, one will pop. When the right idea occurs, you'll know it instantly. Good luck,
