Not bad for less than half an hour! I'd keep writing, but Ben's home, so it's dinner time.

I could possibly write some more, but I'm not sure whose POV the next scene is going to be in.

Now it's time for a nap. I was beset with a Sudden Headache earlier, and the Advil + Sudafed cocktail worked, but I could still use a nap.

Now that the exam is over and I've reached some form of normalcy again, I have time to write. Just in time to go off to another con, of course.

I've reached the point in the plot where I'd normally just write around a lot until I figured out what needs to happen. But I have to figure out the things that lead up to that first. (And this is WITH an outline!)

I've reached the part of the novel where I had a lot of handwaving in the outline and "some stuff happens." I guess I should figure that out...

Finished the scene I started yesterday, and I'm going to go finish sewing a thing I started this morning. I took 15 mcg of T3 today, and I feel SO much better.

90k for this may be optimistic. 75k may be as much as I can get. We'll see what it looks like once I've gotten to the end then gone back to put in some scenes where holes are, and then given it a revision pass (where the details usually are added).

Apparently, getting characters to talk about their backstory and have emotions at each other means I get words done. Not finished this scene yet, but I need to get away from the computer.

Mishap of the day: Realizing that a character didn't know a particular thing before, so he couldn't think about said thing at a time when he did. So I had to cut it out.
