BB Draft Zero

[loaded_march]

I am calling it a monstrous, horribly bad Draft Zero, and I feel horrible for my betas and my artist, because they're going to have to read it in this condition, but I am sick, sick, sick of the BB fic right now, and I need a break from it.

The Draft Zero wordcount?  133,654.

Are you still blankly staring at the document? Did you manage to shake out of it?

YES. Ugh. I don't know what's wrong with me... I think I need to just skip this section and come back to it later... but I'm such a linear writer that its really frustrating to me just thinking about it.

I'm a linear writer too -- but my BB didn't cooperate at all. I had to skip scenes, rearrange things, go back to rewrite, put in new things -- it's part of the reason that I hate the damn thing so much at this point (even though one of my betas has emailed me back to say she's halfway through and full of flail).

I suggest you don't quite skip the scene, but put in point-form what needs to be in that section, that way you're not completely skipping, just skimming ahead a bit. Just keep writing!
