Day’s Reflection
Had a delayed start today since I woke up a little after 9 am, I turned off my alarm this morning and went back to sleep. lol For some reason I was more tired than usual.
I spent most of my time today in my outline trying to figure out the climax of the story. I’ve completely changed the original climax and ending. Bits and pieces of the original scenes might still be included but we’ll see. I’m sure I’ll have to add a lot of new words which might be fun or terrible. Depends if the ideas flow. lol
The funny thing is that I ended up merging quite a bit of the chapters and shortened the total amount of chapters from about 28 to 25 chapters. lol I might have to break those up again in the future if they are too long but let’s just go with it for now.
I think 2 of the chapters are nearly blank and those are the climax chapters. I want to write them out before I try to go back and read from the beginning and do a read through.
Since I shorted the chapter amounts, I can spend the next 2 days of the challenge drafting the words for the new chapters or go back to fix the chapters that are incomplete. I’m leaning towards writing new words because I feel like that might take a little more time to do but I can do both. Depends how I feel the next few days. lol
Still doing well, not feeling too burnt out but I have to admit, trying to strive for 5 or more hours of focused writing or revision is harder than I thought. I’m pleased with the amount of work I’ve completed so far, I just hope that the story flows together well since I feel like I’ve been working in weird chunks. I hope it’ll be entertaining and fascinating to read!
