Novel progress
Apr. 29th, 2015 12:19 amNote to future self (and anyone who's interested): check twitter for more day-by-day updates on wordcount.
So it turns out that trying to churn out 90k words in two and a half months takes up pretty much all your free time! And while I sort of knew that, I'd never done it while also working, so that's a new and not entirely fun experience. Getting sick for a week and a half also makes hitting daily and weekly wordcount goals difficult.
Doing this sort of intensive writing, though, makes me remember why I love it and why I want to do this for a living. ( Cue writerly nattering! )
I'm enjoying this book so much, y'all. I missed writing YA and I never thought I'd love writing in the modern era so much. It turns out it's a huge relief to be able to write about characters driving and answering cell phones and saying "neat" without having to worry about whether or not it's authentic to the period or the pseudo-historical fantasy world. I LOVE IT.
