Small hills in writing

I got over a small hill in my book. Plot points and intense scenes, I call them hills. That's how I view writing, like almost a roller coaster or walking through Ireland or something. There's parts that are downhill and really easy to write. Then there's parts that take a while to get up, like going uphill. Then, the inevitable parts where it's like clicking over the top of the hill or where you're winded and just about to the top.

Yesterday, I got over another one of those hills. I love it, because it's a thrill when I do. However, this is one of those that as happy as I am to be over that hill, it's a little scarier because there's several hills right in a row afterwords. I have some major plot points coming into play, and that's very cool to me yet very scary. I have to be on point to make sure that each part has the right amount of feeling conveyed.

Well, time to go take the kids to the daycare and go to a job interview. Here's to getting a job!
