I've gotten to the part of the novel where shit starts happening and I don't need significant structure repairs or continuity fixes. I don't think, anyway.
I definitely need more descriptions, as![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
anthimeria pointed out when she read the draft. I also need more exposition, maybe. Don't know. I need to find about 30,000 words to add. Some will be descriptions, sure, but I many have to add a few more scenes (in addition to the ones I made Scrivener documents for already).
Current word count: 73380.
