The Novel Diary: Week 54
Word count: 40,082.
After a harrowing return from the Twin Cities through dense fog and freezing drizzle, I am back and once again amazed by how cool Minnesota is. I obviously did not write last night — I unpacked and hit the sack — but I did hammer the keyboard (mostly the delete button) tonight after doing laundry.
Yep — I am still working on “Paths.” The January 26 deadline I set for myself is rapidly approaching and I think I can make it. Both timelines have been eviscerated and reworked and now need to be woven together once again. In other words: I am continuing to rework sentences, graphs, and segues. I am also lopping off more fat. To date I have cut 1,767 words. I will try to make the Thursday deadline but will not be too upset if I miss it by a few days. Right now I have “Start working on novel, again!” written on my calendar for Sunday.
Despite the fact I said I would think about repurposing this post series, and also that I have not written a single word in my novel since August, I am still chugging away. Let it be. If I decide to repurpose it later I will. In the meantime I will continue it as is.
