I feel like I’m in a bit of a groove now. The outlining work from Day 1 is absolutely paying off. I wrote 851 words this morning, finishing a chapter and starting on a new one. With that work, Novel No. 6 went over the 50,000 word mark. I anticipate this will come in around 70,000 words total.
I could have written more this morning, but I took my son and nephew fishing. They caught three fish, saw a porpoise and some jellyfish, and had a crane looking over their shoulders to see if they would have anything to offer. But it showed up too late.
It was definitely worth the sacrificing the couple hundred more words that I could’ve gotten in.
Also, Watch Party picked up another 5-star review on Amazon and Goodreads.
Afternoon update: I wrote another 218 words during some downtime this afternoon. I really wanted to get that word count up over 1,000 so it stands out when I’m looking at my spreadsheet.
