tephraBy nine words, but I'll take it. :)
So far I've been meeting the quota every day, though the writing for the most part has not been easy. Today I actually got a good run out of the aftermath of a difficult birth of all things. First I set myself up to write a child and then I toss a birth into the mess. I do have to wonder what my subconscious is up to this year.
I'll be finishing this chapter tomorrow, it needs about another 1300 words, and then I'll be skipping a year and a moon again for the next chapter. I'm a bit more interested in these chapters, Karen is old enough to be a person with a mind I can get into and I have to start working in signs of things to come in order for the last chapter to make sense.
I'm resisting the urge to just jump ahead and write the last chapter even though I've known what will happen in it from the very start. I know if I write the end I won't be interested in going back and filling in the gaps. In fact I may write up to that last chapter and then jump back to write the first chapter, the one that used to be at the end and is therefore blank, before I get to that last chapter. We'll see. If I have enough words to meet the 50k goal in writing the last chapter without writing the blank first chapter I'll go for it. There's enough rewriting to do in the beginning of this thing that I having nothing in that first chapter in the editing stage wouldn't be any worse than not.
