Are you sure all the words are there? 🤔
They didn't self-delete, or something!
I managed around 800 this afternoon with a following wind and was pretty pleased. That is almost enough for the first half of the new chapter. I don't know what the second half of the chapter is going to be yet though
1k words this afternoon for the WiP concluding Chapter 12 and breaking into Chapter 13
It's going well
In this story, I'm blending several characters from two earlier novels bringing together climate activism, theology and archaeology (I think ... time will tell)
#WritingWonders: 18th July
I wasn't sure how to answer this until I saw your answer
It is the characters, but not always how you expect
My #novelx1 (aka #EG1) was intended to be about the archaeology on a student summer dig in the Cotswolds but Elyssia Gadnall, who lived nearby, kept butting in
My current wip(s) - #novelx4 & #novelx5 (#EG2 & #EG3) - is(are) about her
1000+ words written today and another 3 pages added to the wip. This chapter is growing apace
It's a good feeling after several weeks in the doldrums and something of a major rethink

MC POV: When was the last time you felt needed?
Elyssia: Either, last night (Joshua) or, more generally, about two years ago when I had a vac job at The Manor Care Home. Since then, not so much

880 new words in the writing session this morning, two pages into a new chapter
It was raining so no competition!
And then I thought:
''Six? Mm. Interesting
EG1: 6 weeks
EG2: 6 years
I have a thing going here!
I could do 6 decades for the follow up..."
And then I thought:
"There's one missing: 6 months. Damn!"
So, I've extracted 6 months from the beginning of EG2 as the core of the missing novel
I think it might work 😂
Now I'm writing two novels - apart from all the others I'm not writing at the moment
I'll have to renumber:
#EG1: 6 weeks
#EG2: 6 months
#EG3: 6 years
