As I was writing the first draft of my new WIP yesterday, this thought struck me. It had taken me 28,000 words to settle into my new novel (which is about a third of the way in.) These last 25,000 words have been hellish, and struggled to keep going, but I did (when most people would have dumped it) because I liked the idea and premise. So now I am excited about it, when I wake up I can't wait to sit down at the keyboard (even though I know most of what I've already written, will require to be rewritten.) Thinking back to my other three books, I can't remember it being so difficult (or maybe its like childbirth, and you forget just how painful labour is .)
Anyone else stuck with an idea this long, even though it didn't seem to be working? Did it work out like it has with me, or have you trunked an idea further down the line?
