Almost overpowering? No.
Actually overpowering? Yes.
I went back and edited! I had to, a subplot appeared and I wanted to go back in and write the start of it. It was one session, but three rewrites:
1) The werewolves recounting their origin legend;
2) Rachel asking the smokin' hot Catholic priest for the 411 on St. Ninian (inserted into the holy water/corn dog scene)
3) The first appearance of Ethan Lancaster, Fascist Asshole
I do need a name for what's essentially the beginnings of my version of the White Council. I mean, it's ok for Rachel to call them "Facists Assholes" but I highly doubt that's what's on their letterhead.

I'm editing as I go but then I know how to do that and keep all my words. I've been doing alot of writing and editing type stuff for fun for a long time. I'm no expert but somehow I can edit 1000 words out and still keep my quota. My friend wanted to know my secret. LOL ;)

Ok -
7,000 words in one sitting is good.
7,000 words at 3:00 AM Monday morning and having to get up for work at 6:00 AM is not good.
Drated Muse.

Holy water/corndog scene? Now, that I want to read! ;D

It's a 17,063 word train wreck thus far.
