I finished reading through the old manuscript today… I’m throwing away so many pages. Like 60+ just gone

crazy. 

Finished a really difficult/painful-for-me-to-write scene in Fishsticks, fINALLY, which brings it to 72k. I have a new outline for the ending and a gap to fill. 

Whew… getting close… 

My new problem is that Fishsticks is at 68,232 words now of the 75,000 I need… but it’s… no where near done. 

This book is going to need a lot of trimming. They won’t read anything past 75k in this summer’s WIFYR workshops. 😐 

*plays ukulele*

I have written/RPed a lot of awkward date scenes, but the one I’m writing now has to be the absolute worst. o__o 

I GOT IT.

5,035 words for the day, bringing my total to 60,444! 

Holy crap how am I going to finish this thing

Finally wrote some more tonight. Fishsticks is at 55,424 words, which puts it at 74% complete. I have less than 20k left to write. :O

Fishsticks 3/5 has been sent to my betas. Finally. 

Two more parts left in the book… hoping to finish this month… yes.
