Like ripping off a Band-Aid

By Holly Lisle

Green Magic I stalled out on me on the second chapter. I blamed exhaustion. I blamed stress. And there’s certainly some truth in both of those things, but my number one adage remains true: If you’re stuck, you’re writing the wrong thing.

So today I ripped out the finished second chapter, watched my word count drop from 10,688 to 7091, put in two new plot cards, and as soon as I finish writing this, I’m going to figure out the new plot cards (I have some idea already) and see if I can’t do the version of chapter two that will let me move on to chapter three.

Will read the rest of the Friday Snippets later, and will comment.
