I'm over 5k words, which was my target for today. Hooray. Nevermind that I had to drag myself kicking and screaming to get there. This is especially true after I goofed around and left myself a few hundred behind yesterday. I really need to get off my ass and get way ahead, but I just don't work that way. I need the panic.
So I'm on my second POV character now, who takes over in the third chapter. I am apparently fond of re-writing part of a scene from another perspective, so where character 1 ended is not where character 2 began. He started a little before that.
Pacing is a little weird. I'm making tons of notes in the column for shit I need to go back and clean up. I also keep marking off stuff where a character needs to swear uniquely, and I even made the dopey move of introducing a local dialect. Now I feel like I need to go make a document about it somewhere so that it will be consistent. Alternately, i could just make sure the characters never return to this region again. That's the lazy option. We'll see, I guess.
Okay, I'm off. Karaoke tonight, and before that I have a tutoring session, and before THAT I need to go shopping for a brunch tomorrow, and then I am supposed to hang with someone tomorrow evening. And in all that I need to write another 1.7k words. Better get crackin'!
