Dog and Bone

June 8, 2002 Stephanie Leary

Forcing myself to write before I could watch the Farscape season opener worked beautifully. I needed to get 1K done before my writing group this morning, and I did 1002 just in time to turn on the TV and settle in.

This afternoon I’m going through the printouts of all my writing files, and I’ve just had the best idea yet to explain the bad guy’s motivation. It’s beautiful. I think it’ll work. I’m going to noodle around with the rest of the plot and see if the magic will extend to that part, too.

Haven’t done an actual word count in a while – part of the printout idea is to find where things are repeated and if there are any more scenes that I thought I’d already written but haven’t yet. Anyway, with this week’s work it ought to be somewhere around 27.3K.
