This is the first part of the Month Four movie from How to Think Sideways. Thought you might enjoy seeing what I’ve been working on.

I’m at the end of my novel–last chapter. And I’m STILL lost. :( I can’t figure out where I went wrong or why it’s not coming together.

Hi Holly
My B-day is the 7th and I feel like you gave me a present. And a big laugh too, my first car was a Chevy Vega. I know I’m dating myself with that one.
Anyway I’m going to get lost, I have a beginning and an end and a saggy middle to shore up.

Can’t wait to see the rest of the movie.

Grats early on the b-day, I’m not that far behind ya. (the 20th)

I’ve only ever written 2 novels and have never been “lost” in the middle as you describe (not knowing how you got there and not being able to find your way back), but I have had pretty colorful tropical birds fly by and try to distract me from what I was writing. I don’t know if that is within the same category or not.

I really enjoyed this video and am looking forward to seeing the whole thing in time. The visuals are lovely and always appropriate, and you aloud read so well. I sure do know the feeling of being lost in the middle of my story and I’m eager to look back at my NaNoWriMo last year to figure out where I last liked the story. The problem is the entire story is pretty rough. :-P
