Wired: Getting in the flow and the scene writing itself so easily that even an hourly check in with the sprint group is too many interruptions.
Tired: Spending the next writing day staring at a new chapter and none of the characters want to talk.
I had both happen. I had a writing day where flow was intense, the words were coming faster than I could type them, and I started to get crabby about the sprint group check ins.
I ended up just writing and writing until the chapter was finished and had one of my best word count days in a long time.
And then two days later, the next day I had free time to write, I went to start the new chapter and nothing.
I know the suggestion is to never stop writing at the end of a chapter or scene, that it's best to begin the next one. I did do that!
The problem was that on the day I was so busy that I couldn't write, I realized that what I began the next scene with wasn't going to work. I needed to cut it and start somewhere else. And basically spent a few hours writing and cutting. Over and over.
I hate days like that. I guess I need to spend more time with my notebook, trying to figure things out.
