I’m working my way through the third season of Wound when something unexpected happened.

I can’t tell you what it is because spoilers, but it threw me for a loop.

I was sitting comfortably at a nice table with a view of the beautiful day outside. I’d done my chores and eased into Episode 4. This is a Paul chapter, and it’s been a while since I’ve written in his voice. It took me a while to get back into his head and I have to admit, I struggled.

Part of me wonders (at least now, as I write this I wonder) if that struggle is what caused the unexpected. Did my brain say “Hey! You’re just not feeling this guy today. What if this and this happened?”

Maybe, I’m not sure. I know that when I sat down to write, I didn’t think that was going to happen. Then it happened. What a world.

I’m just as shocked as you are.

Writing was a little slower than usual today. Normally I just sprint away at the keys and try not to back track for spelling mistakes. Part of the trick is to just look down at the keys as I type. I can touch type, but I get too wrapped up in how the words look on the page instead of writing the next word. Whether I look or not, there will be spelling mistakes, but I’m much faster if I watch the keyboard.

Typing with my eyes closed works too, or looking, really, at anything else besides the screen. If I stop reading as I’m writing, the writing gets faster. Is this just me? Anyway…

The writing wasn’t difficult today, but deliberate. It felt like I was spending time with each sentence, making sure it was right.

I don’t know if it’s right. I’ll find out tomorrow when I edit and post the episode. But for now, let’s just say, Paul’s in a situation.
