I've been dealing with weird issues as I write this draft. First of all, I'm taking a different approach to writing this time around or at least it has a very different feel. The pace seems much slower and I don't think it's just because I haven't been able to find a steady schedule where I write for large blocks of uninterrupted time time...

Looking back at an old story; Looking back at a successful week

Too often in this quest, I find myself having to give up because something I'm trying to write or trying to revise just isn't working and I don't know how to fix it.
