Prologue Progress
Yippity-yay! Time to rejoice.
I have finished writing the first draft of my prologue. "That's funny," I hear you say, "I'm sure you did that ages ago."
Yes, you're right. I did write the prologue before. But I chose the wrong character to focus on. This time I've focused on the villain and it has turned out much better. It also turned out 27 words longer. This is amazing. I write so tight I'm surprised that any words come out at all.
Why is it that everyone else writes an abundance of words and moans about their struggles in cutting them down to a reasonable size - and I am the odd one out who struggles to produce enough words in the first place. Sigh!
Part of my problem is that I forget description and setting (nothing important - LOL). Still, this is my first draft. I can do anything in the first draft. It's the re-writes that matter.

You're not alone. I also find it difficult to fill pages with thousands of words....
That's what second, third and fourth drafts are for. LOL
