Brainstorming and Planning

Hard to buckle down to the story tonight, as there were many errands and I had less time. I also wrote a handout for Wiscon today for the Your Friend Academia panel, so I think that sucked out my writing skill.

So, I did some character sketches, and some re-outlining tonight, at least adding some words. Here’s where we’re at so far.

20762 / 90000 words. 23% done!

7301 / 50000 words. 15% done!

I am currently behind 2407 words to where I should be on May 6th. Happily, I am feeling better now, so that will help.

I now need to write 1708 words a day to make it. Whatever happens in terms of word count, I intend to keep making forward progress, even when my brain has to do planning and thinking as it did tonight.
