Wednesday I managed to write over 3,000 words. That’s not my best day by a long shot, but it’s my best day recently, and that’s nice. I need about four more of those to finish this draft, take a few hours to sleep, and then start editing it before sending it off to my editor.
I’m a little worried about the last few thousand words for this story, only because the source material I’m using (Tintin and Red Rackham’s Treasure) doesn’t have an awful lot happen in it. Some very pretty scenery, but not a lot of actual stuff. But I’ve mentioned that before, and it’s a hurdle I’ve tackled before, so I’m not really THAT worried about it. But it is on my mind (and today I’ll be diving into the deep of it, as well as Wednesday).
In other news, I went grocery shopping for the first time in over a month. I’m probably going to have to go again next week for fruits and vegetables (I got a massive stock of staples and non-perishables, but I left the fruit and veg until last and there simply wasn’t room in my shopping cart for much). I burned an entire week’s paycheck on that shopping trip… but again, hopefully this will last a month, so I’ll still be okay in the end.
This pandemic, man. So weird. Oh well! Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
