Day 8 of 10 Writing FayTown Calling
Yesterday was a two part day.
The first part was actual writing. I worked on two sections and added about 1,500 words. I still have several of these sections as Needs Work but that’s because I haven’t had a chance to go back over them and make sure I’m happy with them.
The second part was last night, and involved no writing. Not a best practice by any means, but I worked out several issues that had been staring me in the face, including adding a major moment to a story arc that will be huge, a big enough deal that I’m going to need to go back and foreshadow it. It also made me consider how many words I’m willing to go over 125,000. On the one hand, it felt like I didn’t get anything done because I, literally, added know words. On the other, I had no idea what was going to happen at this point in the story. Now that is resolved and it’s just a matter of putting it on paper. Admittedly, that’s the hard part, but I haven’t learned how to do it any other way yet.
I’m coming in on the homestretch of these ten days. I have today and tomorrow to finish up. Do I think I’m going to finish on time.
Probably not.
Whether I do or not, I will have knocked out a ton during these past few days, enough for me to have a date in mind for when I want to release the book. I’m not quite ready to release an official date, but it moves us that much closer.
