Writing:
Shortish writing session today, since the words were flowing well. Which is dead surprising, because I am utterly exhausted today. On a better day, I’d be pushing for more words, but I think some rest is going to take precedence today instead.
I’m at the point now where I’m pretty much going to be ditching the ending I had in the first draft (which was dreadful and rushed) and going back to a first draft level. I’m actually approaching the end of the novel now – in fact, I’m so close that I can almost feel it. So things are looking pretty much on track for me getting this draft finished in the next three weeks or so, and I can take some time off. The challenge is to be stopping myself from beginning another round of edits immediately. Right now, though, I really need a break – I have review and award reading to focus on, as well as a tonne of books that I want to read for myself.
