One of those days that was productive but there wasn’t much forward motion to show for it. I revised a chapter and a half, including writing a one new scene I hadn’t expected (I’m taking this as a good sign that the girls in the basement are re-engaged and starting another). I probably wrote around 2000 new words but I probably slashed at least 1000 too.
I’m down to the last 30 odd pages of written bits and, I think I said yesterday, I’m not sure how much of that I’ll be keeping…it will largely depend on what turns the plot takes after this next new scene. I’m hopeful I can use some of it but if I do it will have to be tightened up and trimmed (this last bit was what I was writing when I realised the story wasn’t quite working the first time round). Whatever happens, the words still seem to be coming easily enough, so if I can make the plot come together, we should be on the homeward stretch!
In other news, Rawhide on the ukulele sounds quite amusing!
Productive is good, no matter which direction you go.
