Progress!

University exams take their toll, and I hadn't written any of Songlord in a few months, but now I've gotten quite a bit done for two days running!   I'm not entirely happy with everything I've written since taking up again, but such is the way with a project that's been left to gather dust, along with my skills, for too long!   I've had some really good ideas regardless of my current standard of execution, everything can be edited and improved later, it's important with this first draft to get the bones of the story itself down onto paper. (metaphorically)

And let me tell you, writing when you're tired is extremely difficult.   I'm currently working at Apple, a summer work placement, and I have to get up at 7 AM to arrive into work on time, so needless to say, I am very tired on weekdays, but still, Songlord now sits very comfortably on 76,882 words, a significant 4,000 or so words in the last two days.   I'm building up to a scene I really want to write, so that's kept me going for longer individual sittings than usual.   That's fairly common for me, when I really like a certain scene I have planned out, key story moments and character arc conclusions.   

Any Songlord spoilers on my blog will be marked clearly before they pop up, so any readers out there who are also working their way through the manuscript need not fear.   It's great getting back into the writing, and we'll see if I do anymore tomorrow!   I've got loads more to talk about Kosmos, the National Novel Writing Month, old parts of Songlord, and even how I write in general, but I'll save that for when I don't have any immediate content to write about. ;)
