When It Works, It Works
Jul. 3rd, 2005 02:09 pmSome days, things just really seem to fall into place in a story.
I passed 125,000 words today, and I'm still not finished. I have this wonderful new story thread working its way through the novel after the scene I wrote last night. I think it will really beef up and support an existing thread that was not as strong as I'd liked.
I also know that there are sections that will be cut and changed to make room for some of the new material.
But, I think, for now, I'm going to have to up my rough draft word count estimate. Maybe by the end of the day and the close of writing, I'll have a better estimate of how many words I need to add.
Boy, this is GREAT. :)
