So. Close.
4 Jul 2009 06:54 pmI have 24,800 words. I may be scrapping a scene that currently has 200 words, so I'll have to come up with at least 200 more words, possibly 400, to finish this out. I'll see what I can come up with after dinner, but I've also planned for tomorrow to be a day of giving the last couple sections a bit of revision, then going over the whole thing. Then I'll send it off to my lovely beta. (Though I'm still begging for more...)
Then I get to synopsize the damn thing and wait for my beta(s) to give me their crits. In the meanwhile, I'll read some more pre-WW1 history by Barbara Tuchman, since I have it out from the library.
ETA: I hit 25,000. 25,068, 1972 for the day. Tomorrow, I revise the second battle scene for continuity, and give it all read-over, editing as I go. (Though some of that may end up being done on Monday.)
