I oughta come up with a way to have a blog without having to put titles on posts. (Though I guess that's not really possible...)
Today was all right in terms of word count, but frustratingly when I went to check on the contents of an earlier scene, I realized that half of a conversation I wrote was unnecessary and will need to go. Not because the audience already knows something (technically, they're discussing the motivation behind a mass murder that comes from canon, so everyone reading it already knows the truth of what they're trying to guess at) but because half the characters involved already know, as I forgot it came up in the interrogation of a different character some 30-40k words ago. 😰 My writing method is sometimes very sloppy. (That, of course, is why I would never want anyone to see one of my works before I've edited it...)
On the other hand, I had great fun with having Wei Wuxian describe Xue Yang's appearance as "Beautiful, but deranged." Which made a certain other party in the room laugh, a lot. (Though it's not hard to make him laugh...) I felt it was the perfect physical description for him. 🤣
Anyway.
Total words in document: 269,672
Words written today: 3,242
Words written in November to date: 19,672
(I really wanted to write a little more and hit 20k, but it just wasn't happening. And it's best not to force these things, ya know? (Although if I counted words written in plot summaries, outlines, blog posts and comments on the document regarding changes to make next draft, I would probably be at least up to 21k by now, if not even further...but that always feels kind of like cheating, so I don't want to do that if I don't have to...))
Aaaaaand I still forgot to look into changing the colors. :sigh:
