That next "scene" is acutally three. Fun ones though, and mostly just tweaking what is already there. Some interplay between the female main character and a friend who'd she'd probably say Yes! to if he asked her to marry him, but he can't, and he's been missing for days and she's worried he might go away again.

Whiteboard: the night version.

5 scenes to go.

Problem: scene as written doesn't feel right.

Solution: go back and see how the characters want to play it.

Writing been slow lately, as I've been doing assignments. Still, we make progress.

Although, 'Going Home' needs to go down a bit, and 'Corrie at hospital' should go in its place. At least she'll be doing something. And I don't need 'Morning Visit' now.

Still six to go, but need a new whiteboard!

Two down. Eight to go.

Interesting that doing this seems to help my focus when writing. I had been very frustrated with this novel. Sick of it really, although I did (do) want to finish it.

Frustrated with the supposed main character who won't act. Frustrated with the plot that wanted to meander. Frustrated with not being able to connect with it, in the way I had in the first draft.

This, at least, lets me see that I cam going somewhere and I am making progress.

I have ten scenes to go before the "end game". So, as a motivation and to stop me making lists of what the scenes are, I put them on my whiteboard.

I'll cross them off as I finish them.
