Well over here: midnight struck, validated my words, and had a cup or two of tequila and hot tears tea (only alcohol and mixers I have right now).
I wrote 18,357/20,000; 1,643 short, but I'm damn proud; that's 50 pages! I didn't know I could write that much. While I hit my share rough spots too, this was the highlight of the month for me.
I finished chapters 24-27 and 28 is almost finished. I'll probably split Ch.28 since it's already past the word cap I try to keep on my chapters and I haven't even added the couple of songs it has or the rap battle yet.Yeah, I'm throwing in a Nordic rap battle. I'm not musically inclined, so I'll need help when I get to editing that chapter. I have SO much editing to do now! I focused on just trying to spew out drafts for this event.
I usually write mostly on a whim, so I started noticing a few things trying to get at least a few words written everyday (missed 9 days and some days i only wrote like 50 words, lol). I found it very difficult to consistently write about my characters if I wasn't in a similar mood as them in real life. Trying to write about someone having a great time while depressed? Not happening. Ruining your characters' lives while feeling great? Might happen, but now your depressed too.
