Bleh Post

I've been having trouble with the next part of The Space Between that (Should) come out in about eleven days now (In eleven days it will be the first anniversary of posting it). But so far I've rewritten it twice, both versions being drastically different from each other. I thought what I had was good, so I moved on to December's part (November's part is already written up and ready to roll out as is, and even if I change October's part around, it won't need any modifying). When I did move on though, I realized that I had made it a goddamn clusterfuck.

I introduced two new characters, who were supposed to be the last two of the entire group, but writing December's part made me realize that with the addition of these two, especially so soon after adding Franklin, makes it so that there are just too many people in the group to properly write about them. And although I hate to admit it, it is becoming increasingly more apparent that the story would function much better without them.

Without them though, there's no real direction to go towards with that chapter. In the first draft of it, they weren't there, but there was nothing to do. Quite a few things happened, even important things that needed to be written up, but it didn't feel like anyone was doing anything. And I'm not sure how to go from that to what it needs to be. Right now I know where my destination is, but all the bridges I've come to are fucking broken.

I really would like to have something important or at least interesting for the first anniversary, but I'm not sure how to achieve it. And I want to write so much that it feels like bees buzzing inside my fingers, itching to write, but I have nothing to write. I can only hope that this somehow gets resolved soon (And possibly after finishing this post? Just vomiting words onto this blog usually helps).

It feels really strange, but it's like I can't completely clear my head, or get into the right frame of mind, or something. Who knows what will help me at this point.
