With my freeze ray I can stop the world

Good progress again today. I’m getting into a portion of the manuscript that’s tighter and not so padded out with crap and rambling, which is much nicer to work with.

It’s making me worry still a bit about the earlier chapters, particularly about whether my viewpoint character is boring in them. I suspect that I’ll need a few people to reread it and see what they think.

Today’s progress:

Project: Shaede draft four
New words: 3,546
Total word count: 15,875
Goal: 100,000 words (or thereabouts)

Writing: Five chapter down. I’m getting interested in the story myself, even though I know what’s coming, which has to be a good sign. Foreshadowing is kind of fun.

Real life: No exercise today, though I did do some cleaning of the house, including lugging around the vacuum cleaner. Also some baking and a load of laundry. It’s been storming on and off all day, so no chance to get out of the house.

Total words for 2008: 291,678
