So — last night I talked about how I had been blocked, unable to get my word count in.
Tonight, when I started, I did 1200 words in 40 minutes.
Can you say, “On fire”? I knew you could.
It took me about 2 hours to do about 2000 words total, which is actually about average for me. When, you know, I’m not blocked. As opposed to it taking 4 hours to do 200 words, which was Tuesday night.
I have a date Friday night, which means I probably won’t write. That leaves about 2500 words to write on both Saturday and Sunday, which is totally doable.
Here’s the official word count:
I keep thinking about what is story and what is plot. Nothing I’m writing is veering very far from the proposal. One of the things that I added with the retrofit was conflict, of a type. The main character’s choices can’t be *easy*. But none of that’s in the proposal. It makes for a better story, but it isn’t significant to the essence of the story, which is still in the proposal.
I don’t know. I’m just going to have to keep figuring it out.
