BB Meanderings

I've added almost no new words in the last few days. Apart from the prep for Ros' birthday part, which took the better part of last week, I was mostly mulling over, and pulling apart the second half of the plot, and trying to put it together in new and more compelling ways. And thanks to a handy plot consult--waves to [livejournal.com profile] draycevixen--I think it's in much better shape.

And look, there have been new words added today:



I'm going to ignore the fact that I've revised the final word count up again to 30,000. (I've got 12 scenes left to write, and the scenes are averaging 1,000 words or so. The math is pretty clear.)

My goal is a complete-ish first draft by the end of the month. Giving me nearly three weeks to revise it and produce vids for the two stories I claimed.

Piece of cake.

I hope.

Am I witnessing a super woman in the making? I think so. . . .

Super woman or mad woman, it's really hard to say.

They're zombie cheerleaders so they brought spare heads. :D

Look at that word count build. Woot! *twirls you*

I hoping for the same thing, a complete first draft by the end of the month, but I'm not holding my breath.

Let's hear it for zombie cheerleaders!

The word count build is good, but when I look at my previous counters, the percentage complete is going down. Darn the ballooning plot. (And that's why I held off on doing this story for so long. I knew it would end up being way longer than I had time to work on.)

And here, have some non-zombie cheerleaders encouraging you on your way to a complete first draft.

Wow!!!! 30,000 eh?? I love how you say it so calmly - I have been spazzing out about simply getting to 12,500..

Cannot wait for all those delicious zombie-filled words...

It only looks calm because it's written down. Inside, I'm totally spazzing. (I knew this was going to be too long, but would my muse budge and write another story. Noooooo. Silly muse.)

Cake? I want cake too. With Bodie and Doyle on top. *g*

Great job, P!

Mmmm, cake.

And wow, look at that icon. That's Doyle at his most adorable, that is?

Wait, what was I saying?

Look at that booboo face. How can Bodie not love it! *g*

Yay more words! Go you. :D

And happy birthday to Ros too!

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Ros is having far too much fun telling everyone she's 4 now.
