Writing Frustrations

There are times when I'm working on Trailer Trash Teen that the story seems to write itself. This usually happens when I'm working on the first draft of a chapter, and the ideas just flow through me. Then there are the times, like right now, where I have to struggle with every sentence. It gets really frustrating.

The absolute hardest chapters I've written, the ones that got so bad that I nearly gave up several times, were chapters three, seven, and ten. And now chapter 12 can be added to the list. God it's taking forever! I thought I had it done, but then realized that the ending wasn't that great. I figured a simple re-write would make it perfect. I never expected it would take me this long to get it right.

And I'm still not done. Argh! I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever manage to finish it.

Anyway, I'm basically writing this blog entry as a distraction from TTT12. There's nothing else new to report. But, I guess I've wasted enough time... wish me luck!
