Still, that night I dreamed of the sea.

Er...

Add another 1100 words (And Loreena McKennitt's new CD) to that last Progress Note, and basically all new text (at this point, though, i'm following closely on the scenes from the last draft.)

Apparantly, after sitting back a while reading LJs, my stomach muscles (Sore from the shovelling, but exacerbated by the slouching) eased, and I decided I was really itching to write a little more. Just a little. Yeah.

And I made it far enough to add a "mean things" to the entry, too: My main character is trying to decide right now if he's suddenly become psychic with no forewarning, or if he's going mad. And **nobody** will explain to him what's going on.

you've really been motoring along with the writing! i admit, i'm not reading your entire entries but you're throwing up numbers there so you must be doing well! can't wait to be your biggest fan!

I wouldn't say I'm really motoring - yesterday I did loads and motored and all that jazz, but, well, 4500 words is NOT a usual day. I'd say 1000 words is a normal to good day. Plus there's allt he days I do other things ebcause I'm stupidly determined to be a writer *and* have a life.

But I'm having fun.

The avalanche has quieted to a tidal wave, leaving me snippets of reading time--

Thanks for letting me know.

Part of me was thinking about printing out and sending off the next several chapters when I send my last two big -- and now very late -- Christmas parcels. Not to pressure you to speed up, I'm fine with continuing to write the current stuff. It would mainly be to get all my mailing done at once. Would you object if I did pre-empt you?

Remember I did say that you could call a halt with the first few if it's insufficiently developed.

I want to see your structure before I say anything--by all means send away.

[lenora-rose.livejournal.com]

Will do. next stupid question: did I give you part four or only up to three?

Either way, i'll be sending you up to part eight, which is decidedly the shortest and most structurally problematic bit in the whole thing.

[sartorias.livejournal.com]

I have part three.
