Much better today. I didn’t tackle anymore of the writing yesterday, and instead spent some time on the next four chapters, outlining. I go sooo much faster when I have a roadmap. 

I also spent an insane amount of time on Genshin Impact. I need to get away from that game! 

I also had to start a list of things to add to book one. I kinda like this, writing book two while editing book one. Gives me a better idea of how things flow. And I’m putting together a playlist that’s developing as I write. Oddly enough, it starts with America’s “Magic.” Heh.

Slower word count this morning. I started re-reading Michael Sullivan’s Riyria Series and I swear, I love these books. So my head was in Fantasy, not Women’s Paranormal. I woke up and started reading and went—Oh! Nano!

But, I got half of a chapter done at 1,780 words. 

I actually need to look at the outline tonight and plot out the next few chapters. I’m just about at the inciting incident and it’s not that clear yet. But I don’t want too much “walking to the story” since that’ll probably be cut out, condensed, or reworked before final book. It’s just my opinion that in consecutive books, you need to catch the reader up on what’s happened to the characters since the last adventure.

So I might be doing a double entry on words today to equal my 2,500 daily count.

Yep. No words today. 

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve gotten when planning a schedule, is to take a look at the month and cross out those days when you know you won’t get to the computer or be able to write due to anything. 

So when I made out this calendar, I put in November 3rd as one of my non-writing days. So what did I do? 

Let’s just say, I’d rather have been writing.  :P
