This is now my second round at my male protagonist (the first round was abandoned somewhere in Act 2 when I felt like I haven’t really gotten back into him so I started from scratch) but the truth is I’m so much into my procrastination mood (I’m a bit tired with the reiteration approach that I’m taking with this novel too, I guess. I think I’ve got up to the stage where I felt like I had re-read the bits I’ve written up at least 10 times and feeling a bit sick of reading them again and again) that I’m not sure that I had gotten back into the story any better this time around but at least I went past where I decided to call a stop and go back to the start the first around. So I’m not sure whether that counts as a positive but let’s call it that for now.
Again, I will finish this iteration and see how far that takes. Then I think it’s time for an assessment on the WIP. I’ve trying to cut down on such analytical periods because I’m feeling like they are a method of procrastination on my side. On the other hand, I am a bit lost on this novel right now and for someone with an analytical mind like me, I have often come to some clarity after such analysis. So we will wait and see.
As I’ve said time and again, onwards!
