Everything looks perfect from far away

Today’s progress:

Project: Shaede draft four and a bit
New words: 2,052
Total word count: 92,423
Goal: 95,000 words (or thereabouts)

Writing: The end is so close I can taste it.  This last chapter is proving a bit problematic, mostly because I’m making a lot of changes.  I’m worried that I’ve got too much going on at once, but I’m at a bit of a loss as how to better write it.  I suspect I’ll be looking at these words tomorrow again, at the very least.  Still, I’m fairly happy with how things are wrapping up, and I have some measure of enthusiasm for the novel again.

I’ve also gotten a random enthusiasm for writing a sequel.  Dammit, writerbrain, I have to sell this one first before I can even think about writing a sequel properly.  Though technically I do have one in draft form, kind of.

Real life: Grocery shopping, a short walk (which wasn’t too pleasant, given that it was humid).  I has a husband back today, too – he’s been away for work again this week.

Total words for 2008: 477,446
