Day 49 since starting this project. Page 30.
Days outlining:15
Days drafting:8
Total days writing: 23
Days not writing: 26
So. Went quite well today. Feeling like my outlining is paying off. Now I'm working on making each scene moderately interesting rather than worrying about where it's all going. Though I'm not trying to polish the scenes up - at this stage I'm more just looking at what purpose each scene serves in the story as a whole. Some of the scenes I've just written, for example, serve to show where my protag's at psychologically before he embarks on his journey. And I hadn't realized that was the function of those scenes (characterwise) until I wrote them.
And I'm starting to think that maybe my first turning point isn't where I thought it was. Not that that matters.
Am out of town for the next week, so that'll screw with my day tally. Will try to get a few days' writing in though, nevertheless.

Good work, and interesting to see the level of analysis here... Hope you do manage to get some writing done while you're away!
Cheers,
Sean
Thanks. Hoping to do maybe a couple of days... keep that Protestant guilt at bay.
