Wow. Super, super, SUPER productive day today!!! I've had a hard time getting into a schedule this week (mostly b/c I've had to go somewhere first thing every morning, then not been back home until late at night). I only wrote 348 words on Wednesday, then didn't get ANY done yesterday. I can't tell you how awful that felt...not getting anything done? After being so good for so long? It was torture.
Today, however, I had the afternoon free. I set up camp at my mum's, and just wrote. I got through some tricky parts, wrote an emotional scene for Mer, and even gave her and Bryn their first (mini) fight! I'm at an amazing part now: Mer is beginning to doubt the things she's always taken for granted, and is pursing a course which she isn't sure is right (hint: it's not). Soon I'll get to write about how she betrays Bryn (oh, oops...spoiler alert!), and what this'll do to her. And, just as importantly, to him. It's going to be a mess to write, and I'm kind of jazzed about it. Plus they're going to discuss (read: fight) about how she nearly killed him in the very beginning, and will be put into a really terrible situation where they are cornered and nearly killed...which'll start them on the path to reconciliation.
Phew...that sounds really super awful when I write it out in that way. I promise it'll be better when I write it for real.
Anyway, I set out to make up for the past two days, as well as to finish off today's 500 words. Shockingly I managed to do all of that...and then some.
Today, I wrote a phenomenal (if I do say so myself) 2,960 words.
...
2,960 words.
...
HUZZAH!!!
I met my goal long before I got to 2,960, but then I realized that I was just shy of a pretty awesome number, so I pushed myself to keep going until I got there. It is with great pride, then, that I announce that I have broken forty-thousand words: or, in other words, I am one-fifth of the way there!
Okay, that might not seem like a lot, but it's a huge deal to me. And in another 10,000 words I'll be a quarter done. For someone who didn't think they could write over twenty pages, that's incredible.
Okay, okay, enough self-aggrandizement. I've missed dinner, so it's time I go down and hang with my mum. Until next time!
