Writing Update

[pameladean]

I've been averaging about four hundred words a day for the past week. Compared to a lot of people whose journals I read, this is paltry. And this is why I have such a long deadline for Going North. I am particularly pleased to have finally gotten a major character on stage for the first time.

Of especial note is that the sections from Ruth's viewpoint now feel like a Secret Country book; the voice has returned. It's not the same voice, of course, because things have changed; but it's in the right category. Arry's sections are considerably more problematic, but one thing at a time.

If you don't rewrite more than two hundred of those words (not just replacing the words, but replacing what they represent), you'll be far ahead of me.

And, I gather, ahead of some people who support their families on money from writing.
