I am wrecked, wrecked, wrecked. And I shouldn't be. Thus, few words. Also, timewasting.

"Dreamdark, or, the Confused-Title Story"

Old-and-now-irrelevant-but-I'm-still-counting-them words: c. 20,000

Estimated words required: 100,000
Words left (#1): 56,049

Unpleasant things that characters were subjected to: Reveal of Darric's past. Possible kidnappings in the near future.
Writing related witterings:
I've skipped on to the interesting bits. Oh god, I don't know which bits go where. Squirrels have eaten my plot! Squirrels, I tell you! ::subsides into paranoid muttering about green alien squirrels::
I'm not doing linear anymore. This frightens me. And the amount of revising this is going to need when it's drafted is terrifying.
I do, however, have plot. Lots of plot. I don't know where it's going, mind you (everybody dies? she suggests hopefully), but I have plenty of plot. Arrests and kidnappings and torturings and escapes and rescues and revelations of Dark Pasts[TM] - alright, not dark, really, more like slightly grey - and all sorts of things.
Obviously my subconscious decided I did not have enough Mortal Danger for the number of POV characters. Sharing is caring, right? *g*
------
I am looking at the online writers' workshop (OWW?)again and contemplating joining at some point in the new year. Not sure it's a good idea...
memo to self: consider these points:
a) do you really think you'll have time?
b) excuse me, but where did the last of that cash go? I could have sworn it was here a minute ago *looks under cushions for spare change*
c) will you write enough for it to be worthwhile?
d) another writers' group? (isn't one enough?)
