since I don't get tomorrow at all, but I'm sorta distractable.
Today's word count: Unsure. I accidentally quit Scrivener instead of alt-tab, and I lost the session count. I think it was about 450 or 500. Subsequent word count was 250.
Total word count: 62142.
I decided that the scene I thought I could salvage really didn't add anything to either plot or characterization, so it's gone, along with 1400 words. *cry*
I'm going to focus more the rest of this week, so I can get this as done as I can before I go so I can get it to first readers while I'm gone. (I'm not looking for a line edit or anything, just a read through to see if it makes sense, if there are any gaping plot holes, if the characterization is on, pacing, etc. If there's any wording that jumps out as confusing or repetitious, of course, feel free to note it.) I figure 6 weeks is a fair enough turn-around time!
If only I can get it finished by then. Urgh. (I'll have *something* done by then, but I doubt it'll be a Genuine First Draft. More like an almost-first draft.) While I'm glad I got paid for 2 months, I'd really been counting on that time to make revisions. I leave in 33 days.
(Oh, god, 33 days? I'm so not ready for this!)
