Ohio 4: Not the best word-count… 268, and 13,224 total on the first draft

Not every writing day is great.

Some days, you find places in your read-through (the thing before the new words) that won’t stand as is… and you pull out the bits that went in a direction you’ve discovered you do not wish to pursue, and you put in new words.

And you get a NET gain…

So.

The book moved forward today, but not as much as we had hoped.
