guess which one I'm actually making progress on

[marcicat]

One strategy that's worked pretty well for me this nano is to be writing more than one section of a chapter at once (or sometimes multiple chapters). I often have an idea of how I want a chapter to start, and I've found that if I fill in all the things I *know* I want to write in the chapter, sometimes the connections between them are less impossible than they felt when I was just staring at the last consecutive sentence and a blank screen stretching out in front of it.

Which is to say, right now I have three incomplete chapters in progress at the same time, and I'm laughing at myself a lot for getting myself into this mess. Current writing sections:

*heartfelt declarations

*emotional conversation about using the Longevity Dial

*Lin Jing getting fired

It's becoming clear to me why my previous nano novels have never included heartfelt declarations. (Have they? I'm pretty sure they haven't.). On the plus side, I wrote 400 words about spaceships while I was avoiding those same heartfelt declarations, and that's 400 words I didn't have before.
