It's only a first draft
I had a long desert journey to write, full of subtle interactions between my MC and the Wise Mentor to explain magic, get the atmosphere right - you know the drill. It was all so slow! I really wanted to get on to the next exciting bit and the words weren't coming out right.
So I cheated. I wrote 'They journeyed for four more days through the desert.' Then I skipped ahead. Suddenly the words are flowing again! Gosh, the freedom of this mad dash for noveling growth is exhilarating! It's only a first draft! Yippee!
I think I've had too much caffeine...
