Progress:
8 scenes left that I know about. (But I'm thinking there's a few more hiding out).
Big Battle tonight.
I'm keeping in mind- this is the skeleton and it is MEANT to be crap. Once I'm done I can revise it to a reasonable proximity of Rough Draft material.
Let's get started!
UPDATE 1: 7:17: WOW- easily distractable today. I was so excited to write too but then I got caught up in a Forum discussion. I should know better. I thought I was helping but I think I was actually just wasting people's time. Oh well. Now I need to move on. I should at least complete one scene today, to keep my lovely momentum going. I had this dream I might finish one of the chapters today but that does NOT look possible anymore.
On a positive note, I haven't watched any TV this week, that ought to count for something.
And I just moved one scene to book 2 - so yay- one less scene to write.
The Forum stuff is ALL SET - time to move on. I'm on a time table here.
WHICH REMINDS ME:
Goal to complete book 1: Jan 6th (about 13 days, skipping most of Christmas weekend).
Scenes to do: 7.
REMINDER (Because I need one):
I'm trying to remember- it doesn't matter if it makes sense or connects or fits together. Just get the scene out of my head in all of its skimming, crappy version. I can easily fill in the gaps, connect it and beef it up during revision. But I can't fix what I can't see. So just write it. It's okay if it's not perfect.
UPDATE 2: 7:50- Stole some words from the previous scene to put in the next scene instead. I now have 246 words in my Big Battle but kind of stumped. My MC made a surprising use of her powers but I have NO idea what to do with it! LOL. Completely unexpected/awesome development. Must figure out how it works. But anyway, so far I have 163 new words.
UPDATE 3: 8pm- Yaza! This unexpected new power is going to backfire and move her out of the frying pan and into the fire! I'll have to figure out how exactly that works
UPDATE 4: 8:08pm- So glad I didn't stop. The scene is working out awesome!! I had them almost done for then almost victorious and now they are almost done for again! Huzah! This is so much fun. (522 words in scene now; 439 new ones so far for today.)
UPDATE 5: 8:12pm: Holy crap- what a freaking awesome cliffhanger. And I know just what happens next. But I better get to bed. okay I've got some stuff documented. Hopefully I can sleep a little tonight!
Oops, and as suspected, scene has morphed into two so I still have at least 7 to go. BUT that also means I got one done tonight! Yay
