Day 8 Progress Report

Day 8 (August 5) - It's becoming clear as I work through Chapter 4 that my story is made up of a lot of talking heads.

I failed the noon deadline for the chapter (I was weak and slept too much), but somehow managed to complete basic scene drafting before 4 pm. Which is something. Never mind that the second half of the chapter gets shoddier and shoddier, and I didn't quite write out everything I ought have. Things like that can wait for the first revision. The important thing at this stage is to have enough written so that I can test the direction of the story, staying on track enough and involved enough that the muses still provide inspiration and new ideas that contribute to the overall plot.

In any case, on to Chapter 5!
