Diligence and Realism

Well, as of Sunday the 23rd I finally had a day where I wrote nothing at all.

I finished Saturday night at over 49k, and Sunday was just a hard day, but even so it felt weird. This morning I forgot the laptop after just that one slip, so now I can't go write for an hour.

*sigh*

All the more reason to keep at it. ;)

Of course, the boom-surge of Saturday was fun, but I think I may actually be able to wrap up the first draft in November after all. The whole thing is going to require a rewrite, we knew that all along, but now that the character has arrived at the lair of the Bad Guy to rescue the damsel in distress, I think a nice big climactic scene that forces him to do some actual work will be cool. An interesting bad guy Boss with a twist, some drastic changes of tactics required, maybe a little injury and some actual risk?

Yeah, that's the ticket...and I can get that done before December, I'm pretty sure.
