This writing was a gut punch to the protagonist. The village that was so perfect... isn`t.
I learn how the story goes as I write it. That sometimes makes it hard for me to write when it is hard on a character,
I had much less time than I had hoped to write. I made the excuse to myself that yesterday I beat my "month goal," but really I failed my minimum 1000 words per day I write. Looking back, I think the issue was me not the day. I will try to write more words later.
Most words ever in a day. I have never passed 1500 words in a day, and I am at 2708!
Learning from Craig`s sharing of his master craft, I wrote the last chapter. I am not close to done, but he shared that it is best to start with the first and last chapter. I kept in my mind where it was leading to but it felt great to write it.
Not very productive. Too many interruptions. I will write more later today.
Regular sessions make me faster. I lost some time creating names though
I had a child asking what I was doing. It was fun to share, but I was not very productive. Now on to dinner.
I have found that I can recharge and do many short writing sessions in a day.
I had a quick sprint and completed chapter 9. What was planned for chapter 9 is now chapter 10. :) That will be started next.
It is more and more fun as I write. I am looking to find out what happens to Amos as if I am reading the story as opposed to writing it.
Well, today I went back and edited chapter 8 after adding a new section, then added a paragraph in chapter 3 (to fill in a story item that adds an element of foreshadowing .)
By the time I edited and wrote the start of chapter 9, I had only added a net of 610 words. It was 1000 new ones, but I will not be measuring myself that way for this.
I kept having to go back and check details. I finally got through a chapter that has been hard for me. A win there at least!
Today`s first session. I was in a room with children arguing and playing Smash Bros (video game), as I wrote. I was not as productive as I hoped, but with that in mind, it was ok.
