Things going swimmingly.
Don’t you just love the word “swimmingly”? It’s such a Cogsworth word. Actually, I think Cogsworth really does say “swimmingly,” but I digress…
I didn’t come here to write about fun words and talking clocks, much as I love Beauty and the Beast. I came to write about smut!
Well, not really. I came to give you an update, but I’m in a weird mood.
A quickie after a long day
I was in the writing mood this afternoon (I didn’t do a thing about clearing my backlog of e-mail… see, I really do have a finite number of words per day in me).
I nuked about 400 words from the beginning of Ch3 (going in a direction I didn’t want to go). They were my usual “I’m not sure where I want to go next, so I’ll go micro.” In any event, they didn’t advance the story, so they went the way of the dodo.
In their place, I cranked out 2,815 words, with a couple of pivotal scenes, which set up some even more important scenes. The upcoming scenes are ones I’ve had in my head for a while now. It’ll be nice to get them “on paper.”
So things are moving along.
Like I said, a quickie update after a long day.
