Today, I was finally back working on my story after far too long away with coaching and other issues. So long away, that I’d forgotten where I was with it.
In the past, I’ve shot myself in the foot that way before. I ended up continuing a scene in a way that did not flow logically from the beginning or repeating myself. Sometimes that’ll happen even on the next day. So, today, I started in by re-reading what I’d written so far, and, of course, I couldn’t resist making a few changes along the way.
I added more description, this time without fear of using adjectives, and tried to stitch the movement and dialogue together for better pacing. We’ll see if that works. But as a result, I didn’t even get all the way through what I had written and also only added about 400 words, less than my target word count. I’m going to need to get better about hitting that goal.
