Thursday Wordcount

[rj_anderson]

I rock. How much do I rock?

1,185 words.

And those are just the new ones -- that isn't counting all the bits I rewrote and added in to the earlier part of the chapter. I'd say that would count for at least another 300 words or so. I also got some administrative stuff done, which made me feel extra-productive.

Unfortunately, I got so wrapped up in what I was doing, I completely missed my afternoon hair appointment and had to reschedule. Oops.

But the three chapters I critted (you did get that, right?) are the part you ARE keeping, right? Right?? Because those were excellent.

I did indeed get your crit -- so sorry not to have acknowledged it before! It was very encouraging indeed, and I appreciate it.

And yes, I am definitely keeping those chapters!

Oh, and I should mention that those three chapters you liked were written without reference to the fast-drafted stuff -- they were composed using my normal slowpoke methods, and I didn't even look at the earlier draft as I was writing them. So it really is true that Fast Drafting the book did nothing for me, or at least nothing that I've yet been able to salvage...

Well, now I can not feel guilty for not trying Fast Drafting! And your normal way seems to produce pretty spectacular results, so um, I think I'd recommend keeping it up!
