Hey, reading your stuff is fun.
Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

My 70,000 word rough draft is going to be 80,000. That much more to edit later, but I continue to plow through. Enjoying it greatly, which with a first draft is kinda fun.

yep, definitely 80000 to finish. Muse also insists that the ending be written backassward. That has never happened to be before, but--hey, it's good stuff. (What back assward isn't a word? huh? :-)  )

Editing.  Forever editing.  But Valorous Daughter is pretty much ready to go, just waiting for the cover art.  Been doing clean ups and revisions of the actual novel, A Kiss for Damocles, and I've expanded a few scenes.  That counts as writing, doesn't it?  Please... someone tell me that counts...

(Yeah, I'm going crazy wanting to start the next book, but I gotta get this one out the door first or I'll never, ever quite editing.)

It counts PG.
But one step at a time.
Get the first one done and then do the second one.

And edit, edit, edit. And research, research, research. And crank it out. It'll be another locked in weekend.

Anyone else add word count when editing? Love it. Love the depth. Love returning to the beginning now that I know the characters and where the plot threads will be going. BUT still cranking out those ending scenes of the rough draft. I think I'm up 2500 in the past couple days.
