Eight of Thirty

As predicted, most of my writing time yesterday was occupied by making an outline, and said outline is still not complete. I was able to get up to 11,573 out of 13,334 by the expedient of adding titles to the arcs. I’m setting my minimum goal to 2,000 words a day until such time as I’m caught up. Hopefully I’ll be able to get more than that, though, otherwise I’ll be behind until somewhere around day fifteen – by which point I’ll probably have exhausted my outline again. On the bright side, the arcs are way more compact, so it seems I’ve finally overcome my bad habit of taking 25,000+ words to establish a character trait which, in retrospect, could probably have been fit into 20% of that.
