March Word Count
Monday, April 2nd, 2012 06:58 pmfirst novel revisions = 6097
old-mission stories = 306
Total new words in March = 6403
Not bad! I was wondering what the revisions-count was going to look like; it's certainly felt like I was doing a lot, but I had absolutely no real idea of the numbers.
Yeah, it's been all about the revisions, this month. The absence of the new novel up there isn't a typo; I haven't touched it. The first novel has eaten my brain, which shouldn't be a surprise as that's what it tends to do. I find I'm rather missing the new novel; I'll be excited to get back to it. Which is good.
But first, I'm going to have to get through the deep dark woods of revision to the other side. I am finding the process rather disconcerting; I really truly did think the thing was Done, and now not only is it Not Done, but it seems to be getting more Not Done the more I get into it. I've already added a whole additional chapter, and I can see what may amount to another additional chapter's worth of material on the horizon. And I'm not entirely sure about its shape, or what it's going to do to the ending. I may possibly be less certain where it's heading than I was when I first wrote it.
It's going to be fascinating to find out.
