Daunted & thrilled

UPDATE 7/4/26: : The last three weeks have been eleven-hour days and managing sciatica (because of the eleven-hour days), not to mention my new obsession with Project Hail Mary (happy happy happy), so getting fired up again about writing was yesterday and part of today. My process includes spot revisions; if I change a detail, I change it everywhere in the manuscript. So I did that, and there were quite a few things in that category. I wrote a grand total of one scene and part of the next one after that--which is a 43rd scene. I don't feel so guilty because of all of the above, plus the holiday. My plan for this week is one hour in the chair right after dinner. We'll see what that produces at the next update!

Today I created an Excel doc with all the finished scenes [92] and scenes yet to be written [42]. This after having gutted a huge chunk of the novel and effecting some rewrites. Now I need to make good on the new storyline.

The good news is, I've identified the next step--writing those scenes. The bad news is, it's a lot! Some scenes will be short, but I estimate 10-15 will be longish, at least.

If it's all right with everyone, I'll update this post periodically with my progress. I need the accountability.
