Took a little longer than yesterday, but I eked out another 1,000 words of the novel. I'm into specific scenes, so it's a lot of simple grunt work where I have map out who is in the scene and where. It's not sparkling writing, but I'm getting through the draft with the full intention to punch it up on the next pass. I'm feeling good that I'm meeting my daily goal. I know it's a small goal, but the more I can build my confidence, the more I'll be able to push myself later.
I might keep working for another hour to get to the end of the chapter. I want to leave myself a cliffhanger so that I can pick things up easily the next day.
