Meaning I've run smack into a road block. I can't even do my "doable" 1000 words a day.
*sob*
Why? I started to rewrite, instead of ploughing ahead. I have the crushing doubt phase where every sentence I write sucks. And where I feel like I'm drawing out every scene ad nauseam, where the writing feels dead and leaden. I feel I ought to tell not show, to use transitions instead of detail, but then a tiny voice inside my head goes: 'but what about characterisation?'.
The situation? Hero B is soaking wet. He's also aboard a Viking ship - for the first time in his life. And he suddenly realizes that 50 men will be watching when he changes into dry clothes. And that there are no toilets aboard ship either. Part of me feels like I should push forward fast and relentlessly towards the big storm that will happen next, the other half feels there should be enough time for the characters to get used to life aboard a ship. *sigh*
Oh, and I'm still not happy about the name of my 'good' hero. Stolid, Scottish, physically strong, mustn't start with an 'R'... Any suggestions?
Okay, now that I've therapeutically unburdened the problem, maybe I can carry on writing.

Autumn sure is noisy

Leaves softly falling? My ass! Why the hell can't people rake their leaves by hand, why do they have to use motorized leaves blowing machines for four fucking hours??? I am trying to write here, you jerk! Someone hand me a bazooka!
The good news: I got over 1000 words done today.
The Vikings are currently taking bets, when poor Rhain is gonna hurl. Rhain is not a born sailor, nope.
Rhain is also much more fun than my stolid main POV hero character. But then tricksters and cool!heroes need to be observed from the outside. Unless we're talking hard boiled cynical detectives.
Right, time to bring in the bad weather. *snickers evilly*
