The crisis is over. Not that my mood as changed dramaticly, but I am over the top now and that feels great.

I still have doubts about the greatness of the story, but my writing has approved again after some days of shit poor writing.

I’ve just finished one of the larger dialogue scenes and in it my main character, David, says at some point:

  • DAVID
  • I’m not asking you to do anything against your will. If you wanna stay up here and wait for some rescue team to come sweeping through and take you with them, fine by me. But I’m not laying down my life waiting for something that might or might not come. If I’m gonna fucking die in here, I’m sure as hell are gonna die trying.

That’s me… if I’m gonna do this thing and write 100 pages or more in one month, I’m sure as hell gonna trying standing up.
