Another 2,000 word day!
Wow. I feel like I'm flying. I mean, when I'm doing the actual process, I don't. I feel like molasses. But when I look back at the end of the day, I feel completely exhilirated. Got most of the way through the big combat scene today. I think it's clear, but I don't know how exciting it is to read. As I keep saying though, that's what the second draft is for. Right now I just want to get the blocking done, so to speak, to figure out who's where and when and why and what happens.
It felt really really good to cross the 29,000 word mark on the 29th. Despite the several days off I've taken this month, and the several really crappy writing days, I'm averaging over a 1,000 words a day. Yay! At this rate, I really might have a first draft by Labor Day.
