Midday check-in: 67,000 words

But that’s a bit of a lie, because about 5000 of those are from the old draft and need revising to bring them in line with the rest — I may end up throwing out half of them. But if I do that, and write three new scenes, I should get to the end of Part II, hopefully by tomorrow night. Then take a break, work on Tremontaine Mon-Wed, hand that in for my deadline. Then Wild Cards, which I have plotted out, so should hopefully not take more than two days to write. Which leaves me a week or so to finish the draft of the novel. All do-able, as long as I actually keep working. We’ll see. Resisting the urge to work on the short story I started at Mary Robinette’s place on Wed, because it’s not on any deadline at all. Wait, little short story. Your time will come.

  1. You have so many words in your head, like children who want to tumble, your words want to play on the paper. Bonne chance!
