SanClare Slogging

That’s what it felt like today.  Getting through this bit at the beginning where everything for part one of the book gets set up is work, I tells ya–WORK!  But, yay! Six-percent!  And if tomorrow goes well, I’ll reach the big chunk of existing stuff at last!  *does little dance*

I keep smacking my own hand and scolding myself to not go back and futz with the rough spots right now.  I even put a note in telling myself to skip over to the next event and go back and fix the bridging scene later because it was being a major roadblock.  The minute I did that, I knew how to proceed and thus was able to delete the note.  As someone (sorry!) in that fantastic panel at WisCon said, you have to give yourself permission to suck [during first drafts].

I switched word counters because the other one is much more complicated to use *and* (important consideration) doesn’t look cute on my new blog.  Okay, this one isn’t cute, either, but it’s clean, and the faux shadow-on-white-background on the other counter was bugging me.
