Thought and Memory

New words: 2,132

Total words: 80,781

Listening/watching: Tori Amos

Total words for the year: 250,841

Two hundred and fifty thousand words for the year so far. That kind of freaks me out, even as I cringe in shame a bit at seeing just how many useful words I’ve ended up with. That’s a lot of drafting, folks.

Not a lot of actual forward motion today, since most of the words were rewriting yesterday’s stuff. And doing a bit of plotting as well, mainly in the form of things that I need to go back and put in.

I have a stack of review work to catch up on (as always), so I need to spend some time on them as well today. So, despite the fact that I want to keep pushing on with the novel, I need to spend some neurons elsewhere.
