Ugh

Lately I've been thinking that I should just give up, that the GIANT is a waste of time. I'll never work out the story, never make the plot believable for everyone. In the past I've felt this way when I've hit a block, a rut, and that is also the case now. So, just a chapter short of the finish, I'm putting the writing on hold.

Just a few minutes ago I sketched out a revised plot and restructured ending which I'm confidnet makes 100% more sense. I think next I'll type out my handwritten outline and reincorporate my newest ideas. THEN, I'll go back and rework the changed chapters and sections until I find myself at the new ending.

After that I'll keep to my old plan of revising the first section, then skipping the middle so I can incorporate similar language and structure into the ending, finishing with the middle. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I will then end up with a publishable book.

As a side note, I'm outlining another novel (as yet untitled) - I'm on the fifth or sixth draft of the outline and I've made extensive notes. I have four pages of characters names, motivation and descriptions and lots of notes on the story - so I'm learning! If I'm to be a writer after all, I'll try to be a good and efficient one.
