True! And if I want to put in some harder words, I can do that later, since I am planning on going back to do a second draft and re-recording everything. Right now my recordings/transcripts are full of lots of weird errors and times when I say stuff to a random person on the street or talk to my dog or whatever. I’m just trying to get my ideas out at this point, so that’s fine. I really don’t look too much at what I write yet, and don’t care if the transcription is all that accurate because I can always listen to the recordings again later. Of course this means that a lot of what I write is doesn’t quite make sense, but at least I am getting through and seeing a little bit of what the ending of the book is supposed to look like and actually figuring out what the characters want in life. I could never get to this point before because I would get all hung up on the issues in my prose rather than getting anywhere with my plotting and characterization. So it’s a good step forward!
