My breakthrough from this morning resulted in a writing flood of 4,700 words! Do you have any idea how rare that is? Usually, I write that much in about a week! However, my daughter was unusually placid today, and I had much more time to write than usual. Oh, and I was able to re-include about 700 words that had previously been cut. (Never delete anything that you cut--that's my adage.) The changes are all fitting together so nicely, but of course it now requires that I reread and re-edit the entire thing.
I'm now over 80,000 words. I after going through it a time or two and retooling the ending, the finished novel will be about 90,000 words.

I'm impressed! Was that all in one writing session?
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I love breakthroughs and the awesome writing sessions that follow. Way to go, Tia!
ReplyDeleteIt was scattered in 20-30 minute chunks throughout the day.
ReplyDeleteI'll need to do a backup before I leave for work today. Don't want to take the chance of losing all this stuff.
Congratulation!!! Way to go!
