I am enthralled again with the novel.
Here's what I did:
My main issue with writing something as long and time consuming is that halfway through it the focus starts to shift, my ideas start to drift and suddenly, what seemed like a clever idea, turns boring and dull. It loses direction.
So, in order to not loose direction, I went and write the ending of the novel. There's still at least three more major plot points, but I didn't care, I went and wrote the end, so now I just need to toss a few boring chapters in the middle and BAMF! first draft would be done.
It's so scary it's enthralling, so yeah, my mind is back on track.
14495 words, seems like it's going to close around 25k.
