Weekly progress report

I think it's easier to keep up with all the statistical stuff on a weekly basis, so I'm going to try that for a while--if only to spare you the daily "1,000 words today, blah blah blah". If you want that, you know where to go.

Weekly word count: 5803
Last week: 10,031
Highest day: 1765 (today)

That should tell you what sort of a week I had. I tried to push myself to get this week's count up to 6,000, but ultimately I couldn't do it. Well okay. I could have, but I would've had to start the next scene, and I want to tackle that one when my brain is freshly scrubbed and caffeinated, not dealing with the after-effects of too much Sunday dinner.

The plot is progressing nicely, with little subplots springing up like crazy weeds all over the place. A new one popped up just today, resulting in the bizarre LJ post I made earlier. One of the drawbacks to being a monomaniacal (or is that meglomaniacal? I should ask ) villain is that you tend to piss off a lot of people--even the people who normally grovel around you. Teehee.

I'm definitely going to have to go back and rework some of the earlier chapters, because I'm starting to get a clearer sense of the world I'm working with here, and some things I threw in at the beginning just don't quite jibe. I can't decide whether to try the reworking now (as I've done when Major Contradictions show up at my door), or just wait and fix it on the rewrite. As I'm trying to build up the momentum I had two weeks ago again, I'm thinking the latter.

Feeling ready to jump in and tackle things anew tomorrow morning. Whee!
