"I'm going to finish my damn story!": a support thread

[pink_silk_glove]

Tough to find time to write during the week but I managed to finish an important scene. Now that it's the weekend I'm hammering away. Feels slow but when I look back, I've made a ton of progress. I haven't touched the notes for the end of chapter 5 yet but I finished the two sweet sex scenes, the club scene, the final sex scene and the plot twist scene all to finish chapter 6 (draft). Word count is now 54.5k.

Finished up a couple of small scenes this morning, up to 55.4k. Two scenes left to finish, both sex scenes. One is the big group scene in chapter 5 that I have all mapped out. The other is in the last chapter and I need to brainstorm it to figure out how it goes. Maybe I will finish the draft by the end of the month after all.

Is that what's happening? I just assumed someone had sat on the remote for her vibrating underwear.

Post-final check-in.

I know it's how writing goes, but it just sounds weird reading that the group sex scene is 'all mapped out.'

I swear I'm gonna finish it. I swear I'm gonna finish it. I swear I'm gonna finish it.

Sarcasm, huh? You don't think I can, huh? Well, I'll show you. I really will finish it now, and then you'll be sorry!!

I finished chapter 4 out of 9, so this one's moving along really, really well. It's a delicate kind of story, so it could all come crashing down in the later chapters. We'll see. But it's solid now and I don't have anything started that I don't know how I'm going to resolve, so this one's got momentum and I just need to keep up with it.

Although I say this about every story I work on that gets this far, this time I'm super serial when I say that this is, by far, my favorite story that I've ever worked on.

I wrote a large group scene (12 participants) in my most recent story (The Party). That's easily the most I have ever mapped out a scene.

Oh, my!

I had troubles enough with three!

It was probably more than I was able to write effectively, but it was a good experience for me. Actually, I think the intermingled conversations between fourteen of them (two left before the orgy) was harder to write, but I did not plan it out as much.

What?! Me? Sarcastic? Never! Support and motivation. Trying to make @StillStunned proud!

19 words tonight!

Also, writing multiple people in a scene is hard. I think it works best if you have one focal character and have the other people tag in and out as wanted/needed.

 

[Statius]

OK. I think in my reimagining and rewrite of my story, I'm at a point where I can almost begin the actual story telling. 1st person stream of consciousness (forthwith known as SOC) is not easy, not that I thought it would be. 425 words so far and a few more sentences and I'll start the story telling; jumping right in with the first sex scene. The SOC won't stop with that though. Thinking a 'slow walk' out of it from here though, eventually getting into a more or less straight forward 1st person with maybe a few ramblings into SOC here and there.

Just as a side note SOC requires a great deal of careful sentence crafting, hence my word count fluctuations and repeatedly deleting sentences, even 2 entire paragraphs, but as of right now I'm happy with what I got; think it's really good. Probably change my mind tomorrow though.

Peace

My method as well.

(Because, you know, fingers worn to the nub from writing...)

I've gotten through like 1k words tonight after weeks of absolutely nothing and still going. If I can do it anyone can
