Back in January I was a bit concerned that my heroine wasn't as three-dimensional as my hero, but as I've added the missing scenes and shifted the position of others she's finally started to fill out the gaps.
I'm definitely going to have to make her a few years older than I originally imagined her, so I'm going to look at my backstory and timelines.
As to Scrivener I'm definitely feeling more confident about writing with it and using a different font has helped- I'm more aware of the words filling the page too, but that's helping not hindering.
Today I finished chapter 11, all new scenes and conflicts both internal/external. I also realised how two-faced the antagonist is...
Last month I was not feeling as confident about how the draft was going and I was doubting my ability all round- impostor syndrome!?
There's still a lot of work to do, but I'm not going to give up.
There's still about ten days of my Scrivener trial left and I will probably go ahead and purchase it...

I'm glad you're making good progress.
ReplyDeleteThanks Patsy. Last month was a bit like making my way through a very thick forest with only glimpses of the path as I went.
ReplyDeleteSounds positive, Carol. It's great to feel like you're getting somewhere after a period frustration - in any of the creative arts, in fact.

Marion- yes I had a number of delays caused by things out of my control in the last year, so it is good to finally be making progress I can see.
