Well, after several days of pussyfooting around and not knowing that to do, I decided to follow the advice of Joanne and Derek—and return to the original story. Dragons win!
Argh: I've just scrapped my original wordcount! holy crap, it's the 11th! Damn, 11 days down the drain!
(also it's Becky's birthday!)
(and Sooze's birthday!)
This means I have all sorts of wordcount to make up in the coming days… and tonight I have been typing my little heart out. I took the train just so I would have some brainwaves (and an outlet) at my disposal.
Turns out it was a good decision to head to DC this weekend. I had a good time and it really helped me to clear my head, get back into the groove, and find a bit of new inspiration. I'm really excited about some of the places the story will be going as a result.
I went to DC this weekend for a reunion of sorts with the old Morocco gang: Dave and Stacy, Della, Colette, Jason, Chris, Mary Catherine and Andre. I have proven that I am still terrible at all things sporty (in this case darts) but it was really fun just to hang out. I really do treasure my old friends not only because of the history we have shared, but also because they are really cool people.
So the word count I'm posting is just tonight's preliminary count, as I am still going for the quota—I must now achieve 2800 words a night in order to make the 50K goal. Sounds like a lot to me. However this one is flowing a ton better than the other, so I'm happy to admit, I'm only marginally worried.
Thanks guys, for the advice. I'm back to forging ahead.
Word count: 1741 brand new words!
