I was cheerfully writing along yesterday, when I noticed that the passage I was on suddenly had much more the feel of the first volume. All it took was the decision to insert a little first person narrative. The first volume was full of first person narrative. I'd decided I didn't need to do that this time. In fact I wasn't going to use it at all. But it was so much easier to have the character say what she felt in one scene that I did it that way. The next scene seemed to flow easier and was much more what I like about my first volume.
I really feel like I'd fallen in the part two syndrome. Letting the energy of the first volume try to carry over into the second. It doesn't work that way and everybody who's seen a bad part two of a good movie knows it. I don't think the story I've written so far needs to change at all, but when this writing binge is over I think can and should refocus some of the passages with this character in them. I think it will make a world of difference.
For yesterday 2288, For November-20,207 (total 29,821)
I can safely forget about the book being finished at 50,000 words or less!
