Writing suddenly feels like pulling my hair out.
I made it to 17,000 words (yay!!) and chapter 7 with no problem but my plans for what happens in the next couple of chapters have started to dry up.
And that's when I started asking, 'Am I a planner or a pantser?'
I always thought I was a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants type of girl and that planning stops the writing. But now I'm thinking that will only get me thus far.
So I have jotted down a couple more ideas to hopefully feed the next 17k and I'm back on with my flying pants.

I've been writing...
So after the drought comes the rain - not an actual downpour but there has been a definite increase in my writing. I am upto chapter 3 and about 5000 words into Death's Daughter. I wasn't expecting to be writing this story at all, I haven't done any outlining and am just editing and researching as I go - which I know is not recommended but it seems to be working so far. I have even had a plot development arrive in a dream which is much easier than my normal route so I think this is what I should be writing and I'll get back to Star when I'm not trying to force it.
Oh and I think Cormac is starting to grow on me, although it does sound a bit too nice to be a reeeeaaally bad boy - but now Drake makes me think of ducks too :)
