Unblocked

I finally managed to write chapter two, though when I looked back and read chapter one I sort of felt bored with it. It had too much unnecessary information. I'm thinking of probably cutting it down and insert bits and pieces of it in the story, but I think I would have to write all the chapters first before I do that. I would most likely add a different scene, but I couldn't figure out what yet.

I can't say I'm in the zone at the moment. I'm having real difficulty constructing scenes for chapter three. I will find a way to get by this problem once I regained enough energy. It's really late right now, though my mind works exceptionally well during these hours. They had a name for writers like me in storywrite.com. I believe it's night owl writers. I've already considered myself as a night owl even before I discovered that.

The ideas flow every now and then, and I have to be really careful not to get off my original plot. The whole purpose of writing this story will be pointless if I get sidetracked for even the slightest detail in the scene. It was a good thing that I had my friend from America read the chapters. He pointed out obvious errors that I needed to revise, though revising at this moment would be a bad idea. It will throw off my momentum. I just made notes of it so I won't forget. I should have just asked him from the beginning to save myself the trouble.

Managing writer's block is not easy, but it's possible to overcome. I'd like to think of it as mind over matter. I just disregarded what's keeping me from writing and just wrote until no ideas were left. Then I took bits and pieces out and tied the rest together. Clustering also helps, but I prefer daydreaming. So finally my writer's block has been unblocked.
