Starting late tonight. Wednesday is gymnastics night, so I'm not home and eating dinner until after 8pm. Then KEvin wanted to watch Angel, so I did the quality time thing and got game moves cranked out instead of writing. Still productive, and saved me from them being distracting to me later on, right?
I've discovered that I must shut down IM and my email while writing. Shut them down entirely and get my work done, then reward myself by turning them on again.
I managed to squeeze out 127 words during the day today, along with a few revisions on the current chapter (6). I've got a ways to go.
I was was trying to get longer segments per character, but now I'm pulling back again into smaller bits and pieces. I've got Karen and Celia together, so I've been shifting to tell the scene from the proper perspective. Although I'm not sure I'm always doing it just right. These last few scenes don't seem to be coming together quite right.
I think I need to wake Traci up again. After all, she DID just have a weird dream.
Life would probably be simpler if I wrote an outline. Although also much less adventurous.
