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
