I'm not sure what it means, but there are times, like the moment where there's something in me telling me that I'm missing something, or not 'in the moment' of the story I'm writing. I know where the story is going in the next five minutes, but I know there's something I'm missing in the current moment of the characters. It's kind of hard to explain, so I thought I would, here.

I don't know if it's in my head or the story is telling me something I haven't quite figured out, but it happens all the time and is the number one reason that it takes me so long to write. I just need to make sure I don't put in some crappy filler to stretch out the story thinking that it was needed. I'd rather just skip it and move on to the next five minutes than ad some crappy filler to my story and characters.

I know it's not all in my head, because a lot of the best things I've written (imho) have been figuring out what I'm missing in these spots.

After writing solid for almost two weeks, the last two days have been slow. It feels good to write something and who knows, maybe it will help me continue writing in my current book.
