...I can't write padding. Well, it's one of my problems.
I don't know how on earth this novel's going to reach 15000 words - I'm barely at 15K and I've already given away too much, moving on too quickly, and so on.
Hopefully by the time I hit 50K I'll have developed a better sense of how to pace it, and will have bulked up the chapters I've written so far. Once again I'm reminded just how big an undertaking this actually is.

the writing of "padding" is no good thing (see definition #2):
ReplyDeletepadding /ˈpædɪŋ/ –noun
1. material, as cotton or straw, used to pad something.
2. something added unnecessarily or dishonestly, as verbiage to a speech or a false charge on an expense account.
3. the act of a person or thing that pads.
content and padding are two VERY different things... trust me, you can write a book. keep at it me-ladd-o.
