Why am I revising page 1 again? *bangs head against wall* I was writing, and I was on page 12. Then I went back from the beginning and got stuck on page 7. Then I went back and got stuck on page 4. Now I am stuck on page 1. And I have not resolved the sticky spots on the other pages, much less moved onto the second half of the chapter. Stupid stupid stupid page 1. Why am I on page 1? How many times have I gone through page 1 and revised it and thought it was finally done? And now look. I'm back on page 1, revising again.
The problem is, when you wake up after passing out, and lots of things happened shortly before you passed out, what do you think of, and in what order?
You have to look around and take in your surroundings. You have to worry about Person A and B. You have to reflect on the Traumatizing Event That Caused You to Pass Out. You can't help realizing how hungry you are. You have to think about what to do now. You have to worry about the things you were worrying about before the Traumatizing Event. And you have to annoy the writer by not mentioning how hungry you are until page 4, forcing the writer to go back to page 1 to revise so your hunger pangs show up earlier. H, you are as mean to me as K.
