A Day Late

I haven't been feeling well after dinner lately, so I've been postponing my reports until the next day. I didn't make as much progress as I'd hoped yesterday and I had to resort to a place holder in the scene that was holding me back. I write chronologically, everything feeds off the scene before. I'll write down ideas and even dialogue for scenes when I'm plotting, but they have to wait their turn to be written. So my placeholder which will be fixed in revision along with the scene before it. I was telling my husband last night that I think I'm getting too bogged down in the mechanics of a scene. He does something, she has an immediate reaction, thinks about it, purposely reacts and then he reacts to her action. Needless to say(but I'm going to anyway) having this running through your brain during a love scene just doesn't work. So I'm going to go at it from the organic level, i.e. let it build on itself instead of forcing it. When I go back through in edits, I'll correct it to have the proper flow. Regardless, I'm taking a pass on it for now and moving on to the climax and ending. I'm hoping to finish first draft today, so I can start again on Fallen tomorrow with the beginning of 70 Days of Sweat.
