Day twenty-eight of the writing streak
I know I’m really close to the ending of this first draft. It feels like the ending is just around the next corner. And yet, I also know that I am missing something, something important. I’m missing something that’s supposed to happen right before the final scene. I am doing my best to work on it, and today I feel like I may have taken a step closer to figuring it out, but it’s all still so foggy that I can’t see it clearly yet.
My chest is pounding with the anticipation for the end, knowing it’s near. But at the same time I’m still struggling with the knowledge that there are several scenes and ideas that are still unclear to me and that I left pretty vague in my current draft. Somehow I feel like I’m almost there, and yet at the same time I also feel like I barely even started. I don’t know if that makes sense, but that’s how it is for me right now. I’m really hoping that this is just my inexperience and fear talking, and that by the time I move on to the second draft, things will be clearer than I currently think they are.
Alas, I won’t have that answer until I actually get there, so I’m just going to have to keep going until then.
