Re: Completion Solidarity
January 12: I wrote 528 words this day, but spent a lot of time moving chapters around to fix the pacing. Before this, the book was too meandering and now the roadmap is in sight for a grand finale!
January 13: I wrote 923 words this day, but lost some to edits and did a lot of research for my next project that is coming up soon.
January 14: I wrote 500 words this day, but I didn't murder the kids, so parenting win!
January 15: I wrote 500 words this day, but had 7 hours of podcasting to record which is a huge mental drain for me.
January 16: I wrote 1,000 words yesterday, spent a lot of time on some marketing garbage and still have the kiddos with me while my ex recovers from the COVID. The boys really cramp my style, since we've got to homeschool them due to school closures. I also had some work on a rpg I am helping to bring to market, which is also a paying gig so it has to rate as well.
Overall, I sit at 85,500 words and growing every day. I am into the action scenes that write faster once I get the tactics and violence right in my head!

Gettin' close!
Re: Completion Solidarity
last two days (15 and 16th) are 5379 (yay!) and 367 (boo! Hiss!)
Yesterday was a good deal of cutting, pasting and then cutting some more form the old wip to the new. Definitely salvaged some old material that can be used in the new - but only 367 original words
we'll see what happens today...

January 17: I wrote 100 words, but it wasn't zero in spite of real life. Gotta take the wins where I can!
January 18: I wrote 1,400 words today, but now I am into the action scenes so tomorrow will really take off. That brings the story up to 87,000 words!

Re: Completion Solidarity
January 19: I wrote 2,000 words today! I dictated a rather brutal battle scene and had to take a break to decompress. Hit a little to close to home, but the words felt good.

Re: Completion Solidarity
Excellent work!
I'm slowly trudging my way through a continuity pass on The Hartman Gambit (what once was podcast as Free Will before the series got refactored). I'm now over the 10% mark. I've managed to cut about 4000 words so far, but I'm hoping I'll find GOBS of more redundant information later on, otherwise this fucker's gonna be a beast (started at 250k words). Once I'm through this one, I've gotta read the first half of book 4 and then plow into virign territory. The big goal this year is to finish Book 4, 5, and 6 and release the whole series.
So...it's a lot of very intesne brain work.
On the upside, I do still very much enjoy the story
