Today’s progress:

Project: White Raven draft two

New words: 2,238

Total words: 97,190

Goal: 100k

Writing:

Not a bad day.  I was even following my outline until my protagonist decided that she wanted to do something completely different.  Something that’s left me scratching my head a bit about what’s going to happen next, hence finishing up the writing for the day.  Hopefully by tomorrow I’ll have worked it out somehow.

It looks like this draft may end up being a little longer than 100k.  Which is okay, I guess, though not ideal in terms of submitting.  I don’t think it’ll be much longer, though, and it can always be edited down at a later stage if needed.

Real life:

Grcocery shopping accomplished this morning, which breaks my normal routine.  An electrician is coming tomorrow morning, which means that I can’t do it then.  But we have food now, which is good, and I don’t need to worry about running around at all.  I do need to get up early, though, which sucks a bit.  But is much easier to do now that the days are getting longer.

Another day where I’ve finished up writing somewhat early, so I’ll do some organising around the house and then get into the usual routine of walking and review reading.
