Blocked and Revising

My progress over the last week had been negligible, mostly because of health problems at the end of my vacation and then being disorganized when I went back to work. Finally, I'm getting up earlier to get things done. Today, though, I feel very tired. I did get up to write, but I've neglected just about everything else.

So, I'm on the top of page 180. Today, I got up early and began to work. Unfortunately, I ran straight into writers' block. I looked at my outline, and I had doubts. There was something wrong with the structure, which worked in the script but did not quite work as a novel. The relationship between the protagonist and his principle romantic interest needed to be intensified and blended more tightly into the plot. For other scenes, I needed further thinking on exactly the way they functioned in the plot.

So, I've been thinking hard on structure and character and I've been making notes.

That has been taking much longer and has been to the inattention to other vital things. I'm going to get some rest now and maybe actually start my life again.
