Okay, I have just realized that I have to trash what I’ve just written (something over 3,000 words by now) and start over again. I’ve become bogged down. The situation my characters in is static. And the setting isn’t quite what I want it to be. On the other hand, I’ve found out that I can write just over 2,000 words in about two and a half hours, with pauses, so that’s not so bad.

Also I’m having real trouble with names. I usually do better than that with my made-up science-fictiony names but maybe I’ve been reading too many blogs and not enough books lately. Grr. What to do…

Update: not gonna do it. I’m going to just plow on. Maybe I can drop a satellite on the characters’ house and start over with new characters. (Noes! I like my characters! They’re about to have cappuccino!)
