word count


I was supposed to be writing some blog stuff but this fucking fic got me by the cajones. I swear to god. I'm starting to slow down and I'm going to have to plan more instead of just going off the stuff in my head but I'm almost halfway through my 10k goal and I have a feeling that the story is going to be bigger than that towards the end. Learning first person and how to do it efficentively is a challenge and I'm loving it, I think this why I am writing so much lately. I'm just flying through the first draft, although I'm wincing as I write. Seriously, the shit I have written is not quality but it has to start somewhere.

Also my revision notes has gotten so long and I'm wincing. I'm not looking forward towards my betas having to read that shit and to make sure I haven't switched tenses. Sigh, thank god I decided to write first present past tense. I honestly don't know if anyone is going to read this story, because it doesn't fit the traditonal format of third person at all costs and no OC's when a quarter of my cast are OC's. Well, I'm not doing it for them. I'm doing it for me.

Anyway, I plan on finishing chapter 2, and ironing out some plans for Chapter 3. Write now, I'm using focus writer and ywriter interchangablely, but when I start editing the second draft I will switch to word. For now focus writer will do me just fine.

Well, that's enough for me. I'm off to finish chapter 2.
