All Nighter Part 1

5:48am.

I got my cup of coffee, my windows open and my word processor up. It's going to be an all nighter. I plan on being awake all night (yes, my night is your day) and working. Let me tell you, it's going to be a gruelling day and any of you who think writing is easy and full of glitz and glamour, pay close attention. This is what it's like in the trenches. This is what you sometimes have to do.

Your eyes, body and mind get sacrificed for the written word. Sometimes it has to be like this.

I'm on Chapter 32 of 43. I want 32, 33 and 34 finished today.

Anyone know any high energy food?

She's coming

Letting her go will be the hardest thing I ever do. For so many years she's lived inside me and channeled my creative thought. Everyone who reads her, likes her but until I get a professional opinion, I'll never be able to shake the notion that people are just being nice.

I'm not ashamed to admit, I'm a little afraid, but I still believe.

One problem I have been having lately is with the Prologue. There's only one prologue to every story but for mine I have about two or three written and I just need to figure out which one I want to go with.

I want the Prologue to contain something that isn't found anywhere else in the book, but is referenced too indirectly. To give you a basic example:

If I were writing a book about a convict and a police officer was trying to work out what happened during a robbery. In the Prologue the reader would see the robbery first hand, but after the Prologue he would only hear about it.

That's not actually a very good example come to think of it, but it's the best I can do in my sleep deprived state.
