Well, I took the opportunity today to put a big dent in my wordcount. I'm still behind, but about 6,000 words closer than when I started! I instituted a 500 words per hour policy, starting at the top of the hour and taking a break for the remainder (usually about 20 minutes).
Today I berated Zy, murdered Sharky, got a makeover, tried a new drink, got my boobs stared at, and wiped off my hand after touching a filthy human :P I love Cerulean!
All that and still finished up a research paper and a midterm. A very productive day!
Next is Pigeon Flats! Halfway done with the challenge! Though I still think it'll take about 60-70k to catch up to the current plot.
I'm starting to write shorter segments in each POV. I expected this to happen after everyone got together on the ship and I had a lot more interaction going on between them. I kinda miss the Martin-esque huge chapters with one point of view each. Also, I'm going to be writing around some of the RP's we all did. In some cases, I have no need to rewrite Cyrus stuff that I can just copy paste into the manuscript after my 50k words are done. Other big scenes, I'm skipping to work with Sam on later, or I just liked the original scene so much that I merely want to do some editing on them and not a total rewrite. The 50k have to be my own writing!
