aamcnamaraFinished and turned in my post-colonial theory paper this afternoon. Yesterday morning I had two pages out of 7-9; last night I had 6 and a half; today before lunch I finished it, at seven point five pages. Clearly I should take more English classes, or write more papers about steampunk stories with lesbians in them, or something.
This leaves me with two physics finals, one of which I have to complete before noon on Monday and one of which I have to complete between Tuesday and Thursday of next week.
Hence, tonight I decided it was time for a writing night. And since I got past 5,000 words on Whisper-Trail, methinks it's time for an Official Progress Bar.
I have been overcoming inertia by burning plot as quickly as I can. I'm not sure what will happen when I run out of the things I know. Probably I will make more stuff up. In the meantime, it's possible that this novel actually has tension, and forward motion, and so on. (Weeeird.) Of course it's also a) total fluff, b) FILLED WITH DRAMA, and c) probably far too late to catch the YA urban-fantasy/paranormal-romance boat. But those things may be unavoidable.
Also, actually making progress on a new novel feels good enough that I don't really care that it's terrible. I have pages! Lots of pages! So I'm a winner.
