moving on
So, it seems that I have a new “not-quite-nosebleed” wordcount for a day, namely, 1K words on a working day. (Given that I’m not miserably stuck, that I’m not using my writing time to work on a short story, and I’m distracted some other way… but then, I can grab 20 minutes or so in the evening to fill in.) Weekends are quite unpredictable, but I think that mostly I can find some time to fill in for days when I didn’t work in the weekdays.
Yesterday, I did 1200 words and some planning. For a moment, I was scared that I’ll end up without a good ending, but it turned out that I had been doing the planning wrong. The winning approach was a mindmap with two main problems of the story that needed resolution, and fill in things that I knew I had to have. Also, I allowed my loverboy to make a right decision instead of going his usual blunder-correct way. I believe he’s quite happy with me now.
I still have to figure out a new short story to write for critters and read The Longest Night for final edits. So this will be a busy week even with my improved speed.
