554 words today, and a couple of thousand since I last posted.

I’ve got some serious rearranging going on and am fighting the impulse to go back to the beginning and start revising.

What I’m doing instead is making notes to myself about what needs to be changed, rearranging and writing new scenes for further down the line, and continuing to try and meet my target word count each day.

As far as that’s concerned, I’m not doing it on a daily basis, but I am keeping up with output if you take the word count over several days. That’s okay with me.

I’m learning more about my people and where they come from, what drives them and how they got to where they are.

Writing is an organic process. It can tie your head in knots if you let it. I’m trying hard not to let it, or at least not to tie and tangles I can’t untie later.
