Diary of a writing project. Day 127-128-129: concerns at the word count

There are 30 chapters planned in this stand-alone. Yes, that is correct, a stand-alone middle-grade novel. Prrretty wild, right?!

Revising chapter 10 of the middle-grade writing project is, so far, easier to tackle then the dreaded chapter 8.

In chapter 10, it’s all about accepting to go forward and taking action to tackle the new world and the new situation created by the conflict.

End Act 1. Start Act 2!

In other words, it’s time to have fun!

Although, as I happily went through chapter 10, I started to have some concerns about the overall word count.

Big, huge « stop this revision right now and think darn it » concerns.

Right now, I’m in the mood to do nothing at all but writing, talk about writing and read, so I can talk about how other writers write.

It’s about mood.

I know.

I agree.

I need to get out of my house.

Writing is hard when:

A Big cold.

Ideas are fuzzy. It takes forever to write every.single.word.

I’m not very well.
