It's going well, still going

2. I've been writing in one hour blocks. I took a dinner break around 10:30 and came back at 11. I have no clue how many hours that is nor how many hours I plan on continuing with.... I've had a lot of coffee but the writing is going much better.
3. Some things are working themselves out and I'm going to go back and add some more stuff at the beginning. Doing some writing exercises helped a lot with adding more back story. I did a list of things that would be in her car and then did a deja vu flash back type thing which worked nicely. Also I made a list of things she would have lost by being a muse like you suggested and came up with an interesting list and most of them weren't bad things to lose. That helped me imagine where the story was going more. Or more like where it would end up which I was starting to see a glimmer of anyway. I think I'm going to take Merlin for a short run and see how much I can add to that one now.
4. Ok the coffee place I'd taken up residence in closed at 1. So I went home. I don't think I got much more accomplished after I'd written this. I'd had entirely too much coffee and my brain was starting to buzz. lol. I came home and worked out for about 20-30 minutes to keep my energy up. We'll see how long I can run on the endorphines I produced. Then I'm going to sleep on my floor for an hour or two and start writing again. I just emailed my boss and I'm taking tomorrow off. I know he'll understand. He knows how bad I want this.
5. I'm going to keep writing from now (2-ish) until I can't possibly stay awake any longer with short mahjong breaks in between to keep myself sane.
