Day Twenty-Nine Total: 45 pages

It's been two weeks, and I actually seriously, honestly haven't written anything since whenever it was that I last blogged.

Actually, wait, I did. But I didn't type it up, so I didn't bother to count it.

Anyway, since then I have completely, 100% started over again... this afternoon... well, yesterday afternoon. And I am ridiculously pleased with how well it's gone.

I'm actually at 50 pages (my goal before sleeping was to get to 48, but I was on a bit of a roll... I added an unexpected scene and I really like the way it's turned out), which I got to after midnight. I'm not even sure how many I wrote yesterday, but that's probably an underestimate.

I'm guessing that tomorrow, on the last day of the Frenzy, it's going to be a lot harder to crank out the last fifty. In the previous fifty, I'd really thought out most of it because this second plot started out as a story (that I began writing in between quitting the last script, and starting this one). And where I've stopped is pretty much where I got up to in writing it. I mean, it was good that I was able to steal bits of script which meant that it was less thinking and more typing and therefore higher page count and easier to complete.

Oh well, it still doesn't change the fact that I've written nearly ten thousand words in a day, even if I'd thought them previously.

I am so psyched, maybe I won't go to bed just yet. Maybe I'll write a bit more... then again, it's probably better to quit in the middle of a roll so that I'll be able to pick it up easier when I start again tomorrow...

Nah, I'm going to type. Stuff everything else. =D
