Update on the witch story
from this blog post: march 5th
After many days scribbling and typing I am up to 77322 words or 86% complete. There are a few things that need filling in, and a couple more scenes to write but it’s pretty close to done. First draft, of course, and I’m not sure it will reach 90k words. But that doesn’t matter. There isn’t a target or a minimum word count required. It will take exactly as many words as it takes to tell the story.According to Scrivener, that comes out at more than 200 pages, or a pretty standard novel length.I started off well, but lost it a little in the middle, as I often seem to do, but knowing myself a little better, when the words wouldn’t come I went back to writing with pen and ink - typing it up later. It seems to keep me from wandering off to ‘just look up this’ or ‘just check twitter’ or whatever.And on one day I didn’t write a single word. If I had kept up with pacemaker I would have been just under 10k words ahead of where I am.So, all in all, not bad.
