Apparently, being home alone is good for my writing. Between about 2 pm and now, I wrote 3320 words, bringing me to a total of 9934.
I stopped for dinner and again for an evening walk. Living alone would be a singularly bad idea.
I've got something written in each subsection of section 2, which grew as I wrote it from three subsections to six, three of which are parts 1-3 of the same event (I POV switched, so it has to break between them.) I worked out part of the next section on my walk, so I wrote that out of order, then went back to fill in the missing scene.
Tomorrow I'll get to go back and fix these 3000 words, because there are probably a lot in there are aren't very good. Highly likely, actually. And some scenes are probably not even useful, but I'll leave them in until I get to the end and see whether the word count needs them or not. (And even then, I might think of ways to get rid of them. But Protag A wants to stare at Protag B'sassabdomen while he's working out.)
It looks like the action-y part is going to start just short of halfway into the tale. I've laid some groundwork for it (I hope), but the first couple sections are intro, setup, and getting the heroes together. (I plan to make some angst and possibly tear them apart, so they can make up. We'll see where they take me when I get there.) I hope I can make it romancey enough. My inability to describe things is likely to be my downfall.
