I was so busy writing today, I almost forgot to put an update here! A perpetual problem… part of the business of writing is talking about writing, where I really wish I could just spend all my time writing!
Well, not all my time. Most of my time, certainly. More of my time than I am currently able to devote to writing (or to writing about writing).
Still, I wrote just shy of five thousand words today, and I think some of those were really good words. Words that will survive the brutal culling that occurs after I finish a first draft. Some of them will be nudged or tweaked, but many, many of them will just be cut.
Write once, cut twice? Something like that? Anyway, it’s a thin analogy, but I love when I hit a good stride and the story just comes out of me. Especially because I think I’m going to have to remove a few entire chapters (or at least heavily modify them)… so getting more words now means I’ll have even better words in a few weeks.
And I got to write a space battle! Always a joy!
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and heatlhy!
