November writing challenge, day 21

 I'm gonna keep blaming this dental emergency for my ongoing inability to post my word count daily.  (Not necessarily correct, but not necessarily wrong, either.  It was definitely the reason I accomplished almost nothing yesterday, anyway.)

So.

Yeah.

Word count is fluctuating weirdly and badly.

Partially may be caused slightly by hitting a blank spot in my outline for the fanfic where it was like...time needed to pass before the next event, but just saying "time passed" was not going to cut it.  😰

Anyway.

(Yes, only three words.  I was rereading what I had written in preparation to write more, and added a few changes as I went, but then I was called out of the house before I could start actually writing.  😭)

November writing challenge, day 17

 I'm glad I already broke 50k, because my word count has been pitiful for the past few days, and will continue to be pitiful tomorrow.  Possibly longer, depending on how tomorrow goes.

Word of advice:  do not suffer a dental emergency late on a Friday that means you can't eat again until you've been to the dentist.  Especially not while trying to do a writing challenge, but it's good advice overall, if you ask me.

Anyway.

November writing challenge, day 12

 Aaaaand I ended up not posting yesterday, due to the day spiraling out of my control shortly before lunch, not to return to my control until around 8pm, at which time I was too exhausted by the day to return to writing.

I got in a better day's writing today, but I am again stymied by the fact that I've slammed into a wall of "I'm not sure what the heck else to put in here to show the shifting currents of popular opinion and various characters' hidden actions before the murder that is the next major plot point."

*sigh*

Anyway.  Two days' worth of numbers today...

Welp, at least I broke 50k!   (Whether I'm gonna count the words added to the outline, it happened today either way.)

November writing challenge, day 10

 Well, today was much better than the last few days!

So much so that I got to an "oopsie!" point in my outline, in that I really need something to go in between the last scene I wrote today and the next scene on my outline.  There is--at minimum!--six months between the two scenes.  And, perhaps more importantly, the next scene (which is less a "scene" than a "plot point") is a murder.  A murder for which the hero must be falsely blamed, at least by a few stupid loud-mouths.  At present, there is basically zero reason anyone would ever suspect him of involvement, especially since he lives somewhere that is several days' journey away, and no one would have seen him anywhere near the scene of the crime.  (Though this is a fantasy with magical fast-travel, so that's not an insurmountable thing.)  So I need quite a few scenes in between there to establish some reason for people to blame him, something to set him up as an enemy of the about-to-be-murdered man.  Which shouldn't be too difficult to accomplish, but it's frustrating to have to put aside the actual story for it.  😰  Probably I need to start by putting in some more animosity from the soon-to-be murdered man towards the hero, since a few scenes back, the hero was visiting the victim's son and daughter-in-law.  If I insert a scene there with the victim being himself and verbally mistreating the hero, that will help, but I still need to invent some scenes to go in the current gap, too...

Anyway.

 Welp, ended up not posting yesterday.  Or actually getting much writing done, due mostly to a really bad night's sleep.

Today was better, but not as much so as I would have liked.  Anyway, just gonna post the numbers for both days.
