With each day I slave over Deceptive, I get more frustrated with it. I'm not the best at writing a zinger opening, but you'd think after a whole year I could find the right mood and style! Usually, I skip the opening all together and start somewhere in the middle, but I wanted to nail down some of the plot details. There must be around 27k already, but after a few plot changes I wonder how much of that I can keep. Maybe I should target a novella length? Maybe I should stop trying to add the relationship morals and tell my FMC to stop drooling over my MMC? Even though my Mom really likes my writing, I have yet to find something in this story that she really likes. If you can pass her critique, you can get published.
So many questions. Perhaps it is the delirium of the flu that keeps me uncertain. I hate getting the flu, don't you?
With these questions in mind, I head off to work on my ocean story. Or something.
