Author Boy Still On Fire
I finished the scribble last Friday night with 80,020 words.
I finished the scribble tonight, a week later, with 89,550 words.
So that's 9500 words in a week. Up until this week, it had been taking me about three or four weeks to get that much done, and it was driving me nuts. It just took so loooooooooooooong.
What's changed? I think I passed a psychological barrier, the point at which I realised the end (of the book, of course) is coming. It's around here someplace. Time to get stuff going, set off more Improvised Explosive Plot Devices, and make My Synthetic Hero's life even more sucky. Just today, to follow the "explosive" idea, first I blew him up in a big explosion, and then, when he woke up some time later, ears ringing and in pretty poor shape, he discovers that things are now much, much worse.
Not sure what exactly the ending will be, but I have a better idea of where it's going than I've had for quite some time. Things are becoming clearer. Also? Kinda fun.
