Ah, I got proper sleep last night, which was nice. And the weather was nice, so I had a good long walk of about 1.5 hours. Otherwise I've spent way too much time looking at embroidery patterns online, so I think I need to just order some more threads already. On the upside, all that actually ended up indirectly helping my writing, which is not always the case with procrastination.


Today's Writing

I took advantage of weekend to start my writing early today, which was so much nicer than doing it when I'm half asleep. I should really try to schedule at least a bit of writing into my mornings during the week as well, it's so much better for me writing-wise. Anyway, I wrote longhand this time around, starting with a bit of timed free-writing, and then went on to work on a scene in my novel. It was really nice.

Oooh embroidery patterns! Not one of the crafts I've done much of but I love embroidery floss it's all so gorgeous.

I suppose there were one or two new words today since I tweaked a few things as I went along, but mostly it was two and a half hours of moving things about.

I keep a "new parts" document separate from my main document so I can just type whatever writing I've done that day without having to worry where (or if) it fits with the other stuff. So step one was moving the 36.8K words of "new parts" around so the whole thing was more or less in the order it would fall in with the rest of the document, which also left me with several pages of "Already Jossed myself, keeping for spare parts".

Step two was going through and seeing which bits I'd already moved over and which bits still needed to move over. Partway through step two I also made a note to myself of where in the main document continuity started falling apart entirely (ie where the rewrites and the original version stopped agreeing with each other) I got about a third of the way through the main document before I got to the bits in "new parts" that I haven't a clue where they go yet, so I guess tomorrow I need to either poke at an outline again to clear that up or just get to rewriting from where it all falls apart. Probably some of both.

Before the computer disaster of last week I'd been stalled on actually doing this for a couple of weeks so it's nice to have made some progress.
