Arrrgh -editor attack

• Words so far: 28,000
• Completed Chapters: 15

Another slow weekend. I mean honestly you'd think two days off work would be enough for me to get at least a few thousand words down, but no.

So I didn't get any writing done this weekend. I opened up the file at least six times, but each time I suddenly though of something else I needed to do - I even convinced myself that I needed to vacuum. There is something about the working week that is forcing the habit of writing on me.

Then today it got even worse as I found myself re-reading and making technical and artistic edits to the first chapter. It snuck up on me and at first I didn't realize what I was doing. I was half way though a paragraph and just changing a few words when I realized my editor had struck.

I'm moving ahead again now and I think I know what had me stuck. I'd reached a point where I felt like I was moving towards a conclusion, closing out the planned parts of the work aspects of Jacob's life, but it's much too early.

I want everything to come together at the end of the book, hitting him like a wave and lifting him. I've managed to throw another wrench in the works, but I need to keep in mind the different streams and ensure I'm not getting ahead of myself in any of them.
