Go, Saoirse! :e2cheer:

Yay on the short, muse! Sometimes I don't know where a story needs to start until I'm done with it. :)

Got through another couple of chapters today, which is to say I totally rewrote one and then added another one that was really moving in the events from a later chapter, and I have no idea anymore how to track my progress, except I've now done 106/366. Which doesn't seem like nearly enough.

About a thousand words yesterday, which is more than I've collectively written in a month, so it was really cool. I've also got to the actual kidnapping, which is fun.

Yay! HJ. Congrats on the words, and have fun with the kidnapping. :evil

I'm flicking back to wip#1 and some editing. The short story is on hold, as is wip#2.

Whoa, go, hj! :e2cheer:

Best of luck with progress, muse. :)

Today was more of a thinking-and-taking-notes day than a writing day. I may have talked myself into adding a soupçon of extra plot. I may take it out later if it proves to be too comfortable, but I think it may be a nice thread to knit into things down the line.

Which is my way of saying: no words today argh.

^^^This. We're pulling for you. And well done on the words.

Go, muse!

I did a couple of chapters today and I'm feeling like I don't really know how much progress I'm making anymore.

I did figure out that the Holly Lisle one-pass method is good if you have all the little tiny bits of your story in place, and part of what I'm doing now is making sure all the bits of the story are in place, so maybe her method is something to try AFTER this editing pass.

I need a break. Ain't happening.
