I am really trying to get back into writing this novel. I don't know if I have told you what it is about. The idea is that Dana and Chaurisse are half sisters, roughly the same age. Their common parent is James. Anyway, short version is that half the story is told from Dana's POV and the other half belongs to Chaurisse. Dana's half is really right. I've been working on it for years. Chaurisse's was just born this summer and it is sort of hollow.
I think the real challenge is for me to figure out why Chaurisse is telling her story. Why now? And to whom? As the "illegitimate" daughter defending her mother, Dana has a clear agenda. What about Chaurisse? Until I figure that out, I really can't work on revising her chapters. I feel like I am wasting time just sitting here thinking, thinking, thinking. But there realy isn't any other way, I guess.
I am very frustrated. Also, I am eager to have the book done. It's been five years almost since my last book and I do't feel good about that.
