Dammit dammit dammit!
I am an idiot. I am a moron. I am ... [cease and desist]
I should have finished the writing before I went away. I should have. I should have abstained from sleep (would have been good practice for the cruise) and just done the part I wanted to do. I tried to write today, but I have school. And school is eating my brain. You have no idea how much work they've managed to put on me in just three little days. I tried to write and was short tempered, feeling guilty for not reading about the life of this random greek dude, and generally easily frustrated. I've had technical difficulties today relating to school and an online course I'm taking, and when I was writing, something funky was happening with the comment function and I wanted to throw the compter at something.
What's happening in my writing brain? I have Laleena's wedding scene to write. I feel no real desire to write that, I don't really know what it's going to look like, but I feel like I could do it if I had to. This includes Ms. Nyoka's appearance. Then, and more importantly, there's the scene I want to write after the wedding scene. This one I really want to write, I know what it looks like, and it has actual importance that will carry the rest of this book, and come into play in the next. It's a crucial Laleena scene. I WILL NOT pass it on until I write it. Then there's Taryne... Again, I could if I had to, but I don't know if I want to. There's the scene with Faron, and I know how to get him there, and I know how to make him leave, and I've got one or two little humorous/mysterious soundbytes to include, but I don't know what the scene accomplishes. As long as the scene is written, I don't care if it's me who does it.
So here's the coles notes:
There is one scene left that I really want to write.
That one scene is preceeded by a scene I'm not so hot on.
There is also a Taryne scene, which must be written, but I don't care if it's me, or even if it's not done for another fifty pages.
So. I'm thinking Taryne's getting postponed. There are two choices for her: a) I describe to Susan the scene components I have and we see if she can flesh it out and feels inclined to write it some time in her next chunk; b) I just put it off, Taryne does whatever she wants with Susan (I'll brainstorm if you want) and I do the Faron scene next time I have the work in my hands.
So now I pose a question. And yes, I want it answered.
Should I write the wedding scene, a seemingly very important scene, even though I'm only lukewarm, or should I skip it and write the "after wedding" scene leaving Suse to fill in the blanks again (I'm so sorry... you're so allowed to pull this crap with me)?
I don't even know what to think anymore. I don't believe I really have an oppionion on the matter as long as I do the "after wedding". Keep in mind that if I'm doing the wedding it'll take me a fair while longer.
