Thought Process

I'm tired of researching day after day and only making my task harder. I keep adding more things to look up, more aspects to the story that require specific information. I like being accurate. I feel if I'm not 100% accurate, down to the anatomy of each of the animals and all of the scenery, then the story just won't work. I don't want to make everything up. I don't want superfluous fluff to replace knowledge. Which appears to be the mainstream now-a-days. If you don't know all the details just ramble on until the listener doesn't care any more. I don't wanna do that.

So, I've got facts coming out of my ears and none of it seems to be getting me a step closer to actually putting the first sentences down on paper. I want to fast forward to the writing process already. That's what I'm looking forward to. I'm sure all the research will make for a rewarding experience in the end. But, Where is the end??

I feel so terribly far from it right now I'm tempted to just walk away from the whole project. But I've put so much time into it thus far, so much research and patience, gotten so many headaches from hours in front of a computer screen, it'd be a waste.

Here's to the end... However far away that may be from this moment.
