Agonizingly painful planning and charting session (with help from friend) and a very difficult rough draft scene completed. All that work for about 600 words. It was crucial, however. I'm pleased with it.

Been getting so much written the past few weeks that it took almost as long to get it all typed up.  But I've *finally* got that done.  Now it's just a matter of keeping current with it.  And this draft is sitting at slightly over 45k.  I already know a couple scenes that're gonna get slashed and shredded in the next revision.

darn, you're right, it is full. Um.  I may or may not get to that tomorrow, and if not it will be two and a half weeks until I am back; you have an email address for me, I think, which you are still welcome to use and which I am more likely to see in the meantime.

Progress is always progress meg, even if it's just groundwork.
Do you think you'll trim much, Starbeam?

Tipped 20k last night and still have at least half to go.  I have high hopes for this one.

Keep up the good work guys.  You are putting me to shame right now.

Alas, I am in the middle of a job search.  Hopefully once things settle down, I'll be able to focus back in on the writing front.

*sigh* didn't get anything done this week, so it will probably be three weeks from today before I get time to write seriously again.

I'm right there with all of you. Got called into work on my day off and have to spend today at my girlfriend's, brother's wedding. No writing to be had.

Yesterday, I got maybe 100 words written during lunch.  On the plus side, I got a really good idea that'll definitely help.  Managed to get around another 1100 words or so last night, though I won't know exactly how much it really is until I get it all typed in.  Hit my weekly word count, so if I don't find the time to write today, I'll be disappointed, but it won't be that bad where the words are concerned.
