Total: 3113
Today was a productive day for this story. 1024 is my highest word tally in any story in recent memory. Not since I was embroiled in Bespoke.
I dragged the laptop to work and wrote during lunch, wrote in my notebook on the bus and at my desk and attempted to hit a coffee shop/writing place after work but was thwarted as the place I ended up had no outlets NOR chicken pot pies... Double plus fail! Then I was going to write in the supermarket but there were no outlets... well there was an outlet but it was surrounded by old ladies... (there is an eating area in my supermarket with tables...) Hrm it's open 24 hours so I might have to try again there some night.
I haven't really dared to look back at what I've written for fear of weeping. I described it to my friend as "sloppily rendering action on the page" (with intent to clean up of course) but it's like spackle and mud at the moment. With sexy bits slapped inbetween. This story only has another 2K tops on it, which will be long enough. But my gods does some cleaning need to be done... I can't even gauge if it's even sexy at the moment. it just feels like "and then.. and then... and then..." This might be my tamest sexy fic. I guess this is an R, maybe a PG-13? I'm trying less is more for this one...
Well it goes back in the bowl for another week and Juju comes out.
Signed up for a writers retreat in October. Two days on a nearby island, working on Juju... Should be interesting. Hoping Anjali can come so at least if the retreat sucks we can give eachother knowing looks and wander away for soy lattes...
