I've spent the couple of weeks working on what I'm calling my Russian Ghost Story. It involves old Slavic myths, Medieval Russia, a large bow to Hamlet, and toddlers. I've had great fun researching it, and fun writing it. Except.
Except I'm 4500 words in, and it's kind of boring. It's not spooky or scary at all. And while I keep telling myself it's just a first draft, I can't get around the fact that I'm 4500 words in and it's Just. Not. Happening.
I've got a few inklings as to repairs, fixes, adjustments, so I'm giving it a bit of back-of-the-brain time but as far as I can tell, only the very first scene is salvageable.
Grr. . .
