Good day. Scrivener informs me I added 3216 words for the day, I finished the chapter I needed to backtrack to, which accounted for most of those, plus I revised another chapter and a half.

Which leaves me with about 35 pages of stuff I’ve already written, some of which will have to be ditched, I think and then it’s all new stuff until the end.

Current word count is about 92k, so I’ve got somewhere between 10-18k to go to finish the draft.

Tomorrow I’ll poke at the rest of the existing stuff and see what is useable and and start the charge to the end. Word count may go backwards if I have to cut but that’s the joy of writing!

And now I am retiring to the couch to relax with a nice cool cider – my nod to Australia Day (I hate beer except in beer batter, so can’t drink that!) Hope my fellow Aussies have had a beaut day!
