Draft 5
Chapter 4 @ 18063
Rumbling along! Moving a little slower than I would like but progress is steady. I'm back to the triple rounds cadence. Editing chapter 4, transcribing chapter 3, and polishing chapter 2. It's nice to shake it up a bit by doing different things all at once instead of doing all three to one chapter at a time. I just finished a line edit of chapter 4 which is nice. I'll be more than happy to dig back into chapter 5 tomorrow. It is the roughest as most of it was rewritten last time round so it's still kind of zero drafty. It reads better but I still feel like the transition I need is too abrupt. (Less so than before but still there, so hopefully it only needs a wee bit more of refining. )
My word quota has dropped significantly as well... I'm not writing for writings sake anymore. I found that I was wasting my words on things I probably wasn't going to peruse just to get a quota out and that ultimately didn't seem like a good way to be spending my time. Now that I'm solely focused on finishing this story, I feel good, as now it might actually get finished. But I know I'll be at the risk of not getting the 150K done for the year. Slowly getting over that.
Once I start a new story then it will be all word growth but until then I'm kind of treading water. But progress is progress. I'm at about 95K for the year.
Right now all I want to do is finish this damn thing and kick it out the door. I'm so close to beta round, I can feeeeeeel it!
