I'm now at that point in the process where I have a lot written but feel that it isn't coming together. I'm not sure where to go at this point. I'm frustrated because the beginning feels solid and on the right track and then... it seems to fall apart. It feels like I've made some real miscalculations about how to take the story of these women and their experience and make it work dramatically. I worry that I've merely written a history lecture which is certainly not the same as a docudrama.
I guess the way forward right now is for me to get all the pieces there and the shape it. I think I am getting closer to that aspect. Perhaps spending the next two days finishing that and then taking time to work on my article will give me a fresh perspective to come back and think more dramatically. I hope so.
This picture of the mills reflects my mood right now.
