Edited Chapter Thirteen total words: 4130
Total words for the new draft: 57652
Total words for the last draft: 58,916
What I hate: Happy Columbus Day! Seriously, the federal government takes today off along with banks. I have to go to work because Louisiana trades the day off for Mardi Gras. My job depends on receiving checks mailed to us. I drove the same commute to work on my novel most of the day.
Second thing I hate: Working with numbered lists in Word. STOP DOING WHAT I’M NOT TELLING YOU TO DO!
The Good: Finished making all the edits to Chapter Thirteen, found the notebook that I started Chapter Fifteen in (and my badly drawn hyperspace lane map of the galaxy), and for my next trick I’ll be updating the wiki.
The Bad: I’m dreading updating the wiki and it’s triggering my procrastination reflux. Even though I know it will be easier to find information and won’t be the bad once I do it.
Fave line: “Let’s call them interviews, okay? And most sentients are willing to tell you information if you just ask, so we start with that.”
What I'm looking forward to: Castle!
What I'm not looking forward to: The wiki.
