April 1: Return to Sender
All right, Mr. Muse, sir. I've dropped Cloud Castles for the moment, I'm working on Return to Sender. Ouch! OUCH! Geeez, gimme a break, here, I'm typing, I'm typing!
I've written a different bit in as the prologue, and it's gorgeous. The clumsy introduction has been one of the shudder points for me, and it's totally awesome to have it out of the way. And, whaddaya know, the rest of the morning flows a whole lot more smoothly when I haven't just hamstrung it by jumping far too far ahead to do a scene which doesn't make sense yet for the character I'm building.
All right, so Schroedinger (the cat) is still causing trouble by having an otherwise totally pointless introduction, but I've followed TPWFL's advice and highlighted the whole passage then moved on in my iterative quest for perfection. The waterfall model is so last century.
Also, for some reason, Simone continues to insist on being unbelievably foulmouthed. Mozzie, have you dyed your hair blonde and sneaked into my story? :P
Random stats for today:
Final word count: 50,683
Words added: 357
Words now on the "done" side of the editing bar: 1,457
Words not really done but highlighted for further thought: 162
Days to completion, at this rate: 38
Oh, yeah, I'm practically flying. I can't wait to hit something actually hard.
Still, it's feeling good, and that's the main thing. :)
