Well I finished the big typing thing today. Everything that was written on paper has now been entered into the file. I didn’t add much to it today, just over a hundred words, but I decided to give my wrists a rest after all of that.

I haven’t been writing a lot lately. In fact yesterday and today will be days without any new words. Yesterday was my birthday and I was sort of focused on that, today I’ve started typing in all the words I’ve built up on paper. I hope to finish that and start new production again tomorrow.

I actually did a few new words today – I can’t help editing and adding a little when I type it in – but I carefully marked out the days I wrote on originally in the hand written version and those days are where the counts are registered.

I’m not sure of the wordcount because it’s on paper, but my production is pretty steady right now. My best guess is that it’s somewhere between 300 and 500. I’d like to go higher, but for now a steady pace is good in itself. Really rather boring to blog about, but from the writing point of view I quite like having a solid, dependable pace going on.

I didn’t do as much as I would have liked today, or even as much as I’d usually expect to do. I felt I had to stop myself after about three hundred words, because I was sliding towards infodumping a chunk of worldbuilding into the manuscript. I generally believe in just writing the stuff and leaving the editing for later, but there is a limit to how much bad writing I’m willing to put in when I’m certain it will have to come out.
