Novelists at Work: Update 2.



Lately I haven't been keeping to my 2 hours, or 1,000 words today.  There have been times when I've felt I've written myself into some corners and had to either go back and delete or change what I've done. Other times when I've found myself blocked with how to get one character to where they need to be.

Progress to date:
Pages: 60 up 10 from the last time
Words: 27570 (up 4,498 from my first entry)
Problems/issues: The whole deleting/changing things frustrates me because it keeps me from that goal of one thousand/ day.  But I figure: Why can't this be such, and such a way? And it's the author's prerogative to change stuff they don't like.

Editing and insecurity will always be with me.  Reading through the latest 15 page chunk I made few changes but am feeling pretty good about what I wrote.  But will an Editor agree? Will it make sense with the final story?  How have you dealt with this?
