Ni90 Day 4
It is gorgeous and 73°F out, delightfully warm but not a bit hot. Which is good, because the hot compresses go on. I swear this is a bottomless pit of ew I have going on here.
Today's word count: 755 again. I wanted to stop real bad, but when I hit the tally button I only had 749 words instead of the requisite 750. How aggravating is that? So I added on this sentence: They never made it that far. Cryptic, huh. That is what passes for a snippet with me.
I find myself wondering why it takes so many words to get my characters, well...down a hill, for instance. It makes me wonder if I'll need to write 200k in order to have enough substance after I chop out all the wordy excess.
Oh, and wow, speaking of the target total... I went through all the story-so-far and counted it up and came up with a close estimate for a grand total, which is 58,856. That is like...more than half. In honor of that, I am more than pleased. I still have lots of longhand pages to type in (about 13k worth), and somehow those counts always change no matter how careful I try to be. They're figured in, but they're probably figured in wrong. I would sigh on that, but hey. It's still more than half a (messy) book.
