Tough day. I slogged through the climax and just tried to get to the end. As usual, under pressure I went into my default mode of writing dialogue. That's okay, I have a roughed in ending that works. Now I just have to go back to the start and make it pretty. Sadly, I had to miss the opening keynote of #futureofstory to get the revisions done. I just knew that if I went out tonight, it would be another week before I finished the revisions. Now I can take it easy over the weekend and peck away at the polish next week.
Tomorrow, I sit on a panel about the future of writing for kids/youth. Should be an interesting one. Mark Haroun is a senior story editor for Heartland and Gail Sobat is a y/a fiction author. In preparing for the panel, we've had some animated email discussions. I can't wait to hear their thoughts in person.
