Missing My Goals

You would think that writing two pages a day would be an easy goal to meet. But for the last week, I have found the prospect of writing to be similar to pulling teeth. I've opened my manuscript every day, and yet, not an additional page makes it to the screen.

So, I am back to editing. Better than nothing. I'm deleting a character that I thought would be more pivotal to the plot, but he's not doing anything that one of my other characters couldn't do. It really isn't easy to rewrite a scene that once did not have the hero in it and now does. It changes the entire focus. But, in the end, I think it will be a much stronger scene.

There are two scenes that I think will need to be eliminated completely, but I'm still considering them. One a scene where the hero interacts with some young boys who are impressed with his car, and the other is a scene where he deals with a disgrunted supplier. Neither really add anything to the plot, but do give a little insight into my hero. I don't know. I'm still thinking about it.

Time to get writing or editing. Then I'm off to my parents' house for dinner.
