I opened my latest story to see about editing what I had so far. It was turning out to be more of an action/ adventure story than I wanted it to be, so I edited out several scenes and replaced them with scenes more akin to what I wanted. I'm loving it a lot more now, and I'm starting to form some ideas about where I want it to go. I should have brainstormed and outlined beforehand, but I was anxious to write down the scenes I've been thinking about, so I started it without the needed prep work. It's coming out pretty good, though. I do know where I want it to end up, and I've got the beginning. I just have to figure out how to get Jahan and Petra from the beginning to the end. Piece of cake. ;)
I've been getting better about getting off the computer earlier, too. For a while there, my schedule was thrown off because of Nanowrimo and my cold/ flu. It just threw everything off. Now I'm back to my old habits, for the most part. I actually fixed our omelets for tomorrow morning before I got on here today...something I haven't done in a while. :)
Anyway, I plan to work on my story today. I also want to work on some character journal entries, since I didn't work on any yesterday like I wanted to.
And I'm not sure about my word count for yesterday. I'm estimating that it was sitting at somewhere between 4-6K when I started. By the time I finished yesterday, it was up to 8,247 words. I added three pages to it too. Whereas it was sitting at a little under 10 pages before I started working on it, it was 13 pages when I finished. :)
Have a great day! :D
