2848 words today. (Wah-wah-waaaaah…)
I may be on way to falling hard on my face for this challenge. LOL. It’s all good.
I did about 1200 words before breakfast, which was one chapter. I looped when I had downtime throughout the day.
I did another 1300ish words throughout the day, and used some writing time today to loop.
It doesn’t help that I can’t exercise in the mornings on the bike since my mic doesn’t work. That in and of itself may have hobbled the challenge. No way I could have known the cable would go defective on me. A new one should arrive tomorrow but it may be too late. The exercise bike is a REALLY good way to good words in quickly and cleanly.
I’m still behind where I need to do…the challenge may be in jeopardy. But again, 2848 words of good fiction is still a pretty incredible number, and 3,000ish words woulds till net me a completed novel in about 2 weeks, well before my law class starts. But I do want to see if I can pick up the pace.
The GOOD news is that the story is moving along at a good pace. I finished two chapters today so I definitely added some heft to the book.
I introduced the villains, which are a pair of creepy necromancer brothers. It took me a minute to get the tone right, and I’ve still got to loop through their chapter. That definitely slowed me down. I also had to do some quick research this morning, which ate up some time, too.
All in all, the novel is moving along, just not at the speed I’d like.
In other news, I also got the book cover ordered since I made it past the first couple chapters. If I play my cards right, the novel will be done before I receive the first draft.
Anyhoo, have a good night. I’m up at 5AM tomorrow to keep plugging away. Hoping that the weekend will give me some extra time to catch up.
