Okay. I knew the fight scene was going to get messy.
I knew getting my MC home was going to be tricky.
Some of what I wrote yesterday was really good, and it put my character in exactly the right sort of danger.
Some of it wandered off into the weeds and got lost, and meandered around — and I had to burn down the weeds, cut the head off the meandering, and wipe up the mess afterwards.
Which is actually pretty much what’s now in the chapter. Chapter 11, FWIW.
And I like what I have.
I just ran out of time with fewer words than I would have liked to have.
Still, I can take the fixed, much better scene with me into tomorrow, and maybe make up some of the wordcount I fell behind on today.
Way more than three hours on this today, though.
