Non-Fiction Writing This Week: A bunch
I believe that’s the first time (since I’ve been keeping track) that I’ve topped 2,000 words in a week! I was inspired! I’ve been writing some somewhat tough scenes, too, in that, I already know what happens before and after the scene, but I’m filling in what actually happens so that readers don’t have to make spectacular jumps of logic to follow the story. And in doing so, I am now only 517 words away from 20,000 in The Nine Mothers of White Home. With a goal of 90-100,000 that puts me at 20% done! That actually seems like a decent number.

And then Elizabeth Bear turns in 2,383 words in one day. In my defense, I worked 9 hours yesterday (and mostly every day) and then ran errands for an hour an a half after that, and still got 480 words written on the train to and from work.
