I’ve been sick for the past week — stupid sinus infection. So I’ve only today finished typing up Chapter Fourteen. It was shorter than I’d thought it would be (due to rewriting as I typed.) So the grand total for the novel as she stands so far: 73,285 / 100,000(73.3%) Last weekend I plotted out […]

I’ve come down with a mild cold. I have mild congestion and a really bad sore throat. I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow for other stuff — will have her check to see if it’s streph while I’m there. One of the things that I discovered tonight — Coconut Bliss frozen dessert. It’s like ice
I know, long time no hear. BUT. I finished chapter 14! I know, a week late. But I finished it! I finally figured out that the scene I’d started was wrong. I had to pull it all out, start with a completely different scene. Once I did that, I was able to finish the chapter,
I finished chapter 13! It took about another 1000 words. This chapter is about 5800 words I think, if I’m still averaging the same amount of written to typed. Tomorrow I start chapter 14. I’m excited about it. I have a whole metaphor developing that I think is going to be so cool. I’m really
Well — I didn’t quite finish chapter 13 today. I did write approximately 2000 words today while on the airplane. However, I didn’t finish the chapter. I have one last scene to write, and it’ll be about 1000 words. I’ll finish it tomorrow, and for the rest of the week, I’ll write chapter 14. If

I did about 500 words tonight on chapter 13. Basically, I wrote until I reached the point where, “and now, something brilliant happens.” I’m not sure what that brilliant thing is going to be yet. Hopefully I’ll figure it out by Thursday tea.
Okay, so I’m a little behind. I didn’t finish typing up chapter 12 until tonight, Monday night. But I still finished it! It’s about 6000 words long. So the total for this novel is currently: 61,972 / 100,000(62.0%) Tomorrow night I’ll start chapter 13, with the goal of finishing it by Sunday. I think this
Thursday night I did indeed finish chapter 11. It turned out longer than I thought it would, so I ended up typing a lot, 2500 words worth or so. I didn’t write on Friday night — I went to see a friend after work, then went straight to the first Clarion West party, which was
Yes, it’s Thursday — time for tea! I need to get back into the habit of writing every Thursday night. I plan on finishing chapter 11 tonight. Hope to see you there!
