Life getting in way...

I know I need to be more disciplined but life just keeps getting in the way....but I am writing every day (not as many pages as I would like because of LIFE but two pages is better than none in my book). It's a frustrating business, writing, you can see the picture so clearly in your head but when you come to putting it on paper you get muddled, confused downright scared that the damn thing doesn't look the same as it does in that strange place in your head. Or as you're writing other words come out and you go yes I like that and follow a completely different path to the one you were originally taking which shocks the life out of you and you have to start working out where to go now and what you still need from your original idea to make it work.....as I experienced today with A&C....really need to think of a working title for it but it just hasn't popped into my head yet....it will but hasn't got there yet!!! I had decided that A's DH had been murdered originally(in back story which will be layered through the story instead of taking the prologue option), but as the story progressed I decided that it was both her DH and her eldest child which creates more anguish, conflict etc and ties in with the current storyline. In order to do that I needed to make changes and as I was making changes I thought that maybe DH was still alive and they had just divorced because of the trauma of it all but then changed it back again because I decided I didn't want him in the picture complicating lives, him as a ghostly presence (figuratively not literally will also be more compelling....so spent way too much time going backwards and forwards over this but now that it is working think the plot will go so much better!!!!
