huh.
So apparently, as much as I hate starting to work on Every Light, once I get started the words just happen.
Witness yesterday, when I whined and griped and moaned and stared at the blank page (as I've been doing for this particular chapter for a few weeks now), forced myself to write two crappy paragraphs, then blinked and found 1500 words on the page.
For those wishing to play along, that means the rough draft is currently at 120,879 words. (And I almost always add words during editing, not subtract.) Projected end wordcount of rough draft: 200,000. \o/
Half of Chapter 13, a smidge of Chapter 14, and then chapters 25-35 to go (and 35 barely counts, it is hopefully going to be under 1000 words. I hope I hope I hope. Cooperate, you twits.)
Hey maybe I'll finish this stupid thing someday.
