Chapter 5: +839
Total 14,938
Distractions, distractions. I am so easily distracted. But with butt in chair, and Beirut in my ear I got some words out. I'm a little nervous with 3641 words to do in four days but I think I can do it. My 1000 days aren't happening as I am running out of words, or hitting ends of scenes. I am on the last scene in chapter 4 and had to stop so I could figure out what the final challenge will be. I figure there will probably be one more day of that, that is the goal. I'm more than halfway through the action outline. I just need to plot out some kink specifics. I should probably plot ahead to the final "quiet" chapter. Perhaps there will be some talking. Who knows. Still not sure what to make of this thing... I upload to Drive each night and then read it on my phone in bed to separate myself and see what the hell I just did. Last night it was "okay". No guarantees for tonight. Sherlock needs a lot of character surgery for sure. He's not quite reading right to me yet..
This has been interesting. I'm kind of looking forward to the next one where I can get back to the basics, crackish as it will be. (I think the tentacle fic will be put on hold as that might be the start of a(whole)nother potential series...)
This fic has been an exercise in observing, and it has been hard. Not that anything is ever easy when it comes to writing for me, but sometimes when you hit the end of a first draft somethings are lesser train wrecks than others. If I can coax it into car crash territory, it will be a step up. I'm so itching to start editing! But more Spackle is needed
Taking tomorrow off which gives me another five day zombie weekend which means I'll probably do the writing double shift. Put in half the words late and then wander back to the computer around 4AM and put down some more. Sleep-cycle be damned. Hopefully I can get some lucid dreaming in.
