Accomplishments
Another week of staring into the hua t’ou. Finally able to get started on constructing Chapter 47. Started calling myself “doofus” in my editing notes throughout the third draft. And what a mess it is. Got through another iteration of the beat sheet, and I can only hope it unkinks some of the worst knots. Hard to believe I wrote my first book in five weeks.
How can I make things worse? This may be the magic key to unlock all plots. I see it at work constantly in all the various dramas I watch on TV to avoid confronting the conundrum that is The Achilles Factor.
Objective
Finish Chapter Forty-Seven.
