“A novelist is someone who remembers events that never happened.” -Jackson Tejada<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Came up with that thought as I woke up this morning. Checked the internet and it appears no one has ever said that before. So, that’s my quote. Cite me if you ever use it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reason that quote popped into my head this morning is because as I was waking from slumber, I was picturing the scenes I had just written the night before, and I was trying to piece together the next events, remembering, as it were, what had happened to my intrepid heroes. It is a weird, wonderful thing to experience, and I hadn’t realized how much I missed it until this month. Even as I barely manage to squeeze out 1,000 words after a very long hour, I am still very much in it to win it. I’m still concerned that I don’t have enough story left for 50,000 words, but I will keep writing and when the story ends, see what I have left then. I know I have a three-part epilogue that may be about three thousand words, and I just hit 43k, bringing me to 4,000 words left for the finale. I might just have enough story for that. We’ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
