Writing Progress - 8/19/2009

 Today's project is the complete and total overhaul of Chapter 5-A of Facing Fearful Odds.

Starting word count is: 9,690 words (9 of 13 scenes completed)

Since this is a major reworking of an existing chapter, the goal posts for today won't be word count but rather the number of scenes that have had their revisions completed. 

10 AM: stop browsing tvtropes!
11 AM: 9,860 (10 of 13 scenes completed) 
12 PM: 10,112 (10 of 13 scenes completed)

* * * and the slow, sickening dread that I'm going to have to re-break this entire goddamn chapter's act breaks begins to sink in, like the realization that, however wonderful your bubble bath is, you're still soaking in your own filth * * * 

1 PM: 8,983 (7 of 13 scenes completed) ---> Major surgery on the story. Plot tumors removed.
2 PM: oh god why won't the phone stop ringing

Since I've gotten into it, one of the things that's a shame about AtLA fandom is the lack of in-depth analysis of the show and its characters. I find such articles to be good fodder, even if they're sometimes wildly off the mark. Today I did finally manage to find a series of analysis article, and by "manage to find" I mean "entered random words into Google while bored". Check 'em out. 

5 PM: 9,000 words (7 of 13 scenes completed) --> Revisions of the first few completed scenes underway.
