Okay, ch. 9 is rewritten. ‘Rewritten’ in this case includes copious use of cut and paste, but the final wordcount is 400 words more than the original chapter, and I did rather more than that in actual new words. I’m giving this chapter Edit Credit, which is 50% of the final number of words (since many of them *weren’t* rewritten), for 1500 words this morning. Tomorrow I will have to look at ch. 10 and see what kind of shape it’s in. The other goal for today: finish the first…
yow!
Ok, well, Trip logged in this evening and mumbled about writing and I said I’d write some more if he did and he went off to write so I wrote some more and erm, managed another 900 words, which puts me at 3K for the day, and which puts this damned chapter at five. thousand. words. And I’m NOT DONE YET. Although the end is in sight. Although, again, I was thinking 900 words ago that it was in sight within 12-1500 words, and now I’m thinking another 1000, so……
well, not glorious
Well, not glorious, but quite a lot better than a kick in the teeth. I got 300 words or so written on TQB, putting my daily total at 2100. I want to finish this chapter, dammit. It’s 4100 words long and while the end is in sight, it’s still a goodly distance off. And a great deal of drek needs to be replaced with good bits, yet. I’m going to stagger around for a while if I end up with a 7K chapter. Never done /that/ before. The peach jam…
whee!
At about 5:15 this morning I woke up (my alarm’s set for 5:30) and thought, “nnngh. Maybe I don’t wanna get up, even if I’m awake. Nngh. ‘course, I gotta pee. Maybe I can ignore it. (three minutes pass) Nope. Can’t ignore it. Might as well get up.” So up I got. The decent thing about getting up that early is that I don’t feel in the slightest bit bad for sitting there in the shower until I decide I feel functional enough to get out and face the day.…
