Writing Log | Week 8
Day 1 — Sunday
This week’s goal is a soft one: meander through the rest of Act I (Chapters 7-12) to identify edits needed and plan new scenes.
Not doing much today since it’s already late, but I’ll skim through Chapter 12 since I don’t think much needs to change there. An easy win!
Day 2 — Monday
No writing done — had to pack for a trip + had a busy day at work.
Day 3 — Tuesday
Travel day! Exhausted but I’m reading a bit more of Chapter 12 honestly just to say that I did some book work today.
Day 4 — Wednesday
No writing on a busy work day — but, a lovely walk!
Day 5 — Thursday
Don’t have much time after another packed day, but I’m continuing to work backwards. So I’m starting a read-through of Chapter 11 — it’s BLOATED at 3,806 words. I think it’s fitting to allow space for longer emotional beats at this place in the story, but I don’t want to go overboard. There’s bloat and some plot points that I’m cutting.
Didn’t get any writing done the rest of the week – busy with work and seeing family!
