Got 1909 words, one GREAT “grandma revelation”… and moved several plot lines forward.
I made my word count and more. Better, though, I discovered what the Second Room wanted to show my main character, and I left myself with a couple dilemmas she gets to deal with tomorrow. I found out about my town’s past and a few of its important past inhabitants — and the effects they’re…

Mondays are Rough — 1159 words (about a hundred words short), and I like my progress…
Today was tough. Just was. I had a lot of things I had to do first (15ths of the month or their equivalents fall into every life, and the actual 15th of each month is mine.) I love a lot of what I got. Met my MC’s great-grandfather. I did some very good worldbuilding that…

HUGE story win: Price? 2000+ words words cut today, net gain of 670 today, and 3267 to delete tomorrow…

Anybody still have your copy of The Brand New Human’s User Manual? If you do, could you give me the steps for resetting my brain clock?…

I knew today was going to be rough. Deleted a couple thousand words. Net gain – 604 words (79,997 total)
So… yeah. I wrote hard. I love what I got. And I love it because Matt and I did a long live-brainstorming section last night, and he and I worked out a helluva better way to go with the story. I deleted a lot more than I’d expected, though — some of it in places…
