Nascence VI 

3/2/2015

My writing week is over and it was back to work today, another gloriously sunny and breezy spring morning.  It's the only time of year that sunshine pours into my damp-ridden flat, which is both lovely and terrifying - the amount of dust you don't see in winter despite constant hoovering is amazing.  How did it get there?  Where did it come from?  I can't say my week of writing went spectacularly well but the fault is primarily my own:  it's so early in the novel that I feel as if I'm groping about in the near-dark.  Not entirely dark - I know what I want the novel to look like and feel like but don't seem to be able to drag those images from my mind onto the page.  I gave up art for this exact reason - the inability to express myself as clearly.  In order not to give up hope, I've commanded myself to get to the end of what is essentially Act I and THEN I'll be allowed to go back and do a Big Edit.  The novel changes quite dramatically at that point so it be a good spot to do a bit of proverbial ironing.  This doesn't look as if it's going to be a novel that just drips from my fingers.  Perhaps if I keep those fingers crossed, this will change....
