I don't remember if I updated after the last time I wrote, and I'm too lazy to check.
Scrivener has a new feature which lets you set a deadline in your "project targets" section. I have my word count target set to 90,000, and my current word count is 76,053. I set a due date of July 1, and Scrivener calculated how many words per day I have to write to hit that target (assuming I write every day, of course.) I think it's kind of cool, and I appreciate having "95 days" sitting there taunting me.
I pretty much only get work done if there's a deadline.
So today I added 304 words (net) in one scene, mostly descriptions and making the expository bits less summary and more describey.
I need a title for a future space action movie series (think future Michael Bay) that's better than "Star Warriors." I got a suggestion on twitter of "Stellar Bellum," which I appreciate as a play on words, but it seems too erudite for what I'm looking for. They're about a band of scrappy action heroes who save Earth/the galactic colonies from invading aliens/terrists/pirates/whatever. They're referenced as a way for our heroes to spend a few hours relaxing. (And commented on as "easier than real life, because you know who the bad guys are" by one of our heroes.)
