…Although don’t panic, I’m still working on my novel. For a while now I have been convinced that the storyline has been finished and indeed I have come to the ending wanting to really portray the feelings generated by it for both the readers and the protagonist. However, editing as I am I have come to various points where I just have to add more. There has been many aspects; the nuances of different relationships, some missing action and even the hope to portray your characters in a different light; that I have discovered I need to add but I’m not entirely sure how to do this or how to feel about it. I don’t want to add something in that i feel needs adding just to find it makes the entire section of the novel seem obsolete or pathetic.
How do you come to terms with thinking you are so close to the finished product and yet discovering you are so far away. I really admire my friend Jex who always has a lot to write about and is always so passionate in the writing. She’s very good and I worry that my novel may not stand up since I have to add more in. This is a moment of doubt I’m sure I will work though but for now must work on my novel and getting it right 🙂
Thank you for listening to my vent 🙂
Also yes the artwork is again by Luis Royo, I can’t help it, he’s my favourite 🙂
