On the days I don't work on my novel I feel guilty for leaving Tessa in no-mans’ land. Tessa has been in no-mans’ land for at least six weeks, although I have been working on the novel I haven’t moved her along. I have her suck in a conversation with a four year old boy in Boston’s South Station. She’s stuck there because I can’t seem to get the words right with this conversation. I’ve been editing the same conversation for over a month and that is not helping Tessa move along.
Today I think I got the conversation the way it should flow, lets at least hope so…for Tessa’s sake. I won’t know until I go back and read what I wrote the next time I sit to write. Until then Tessa’s still in no-mans’ land.
Sorry Tessa I’m working on getting you out as soon as I can.
