Day 4: 8,264 words

I wasn’t able to write until I got home from church tonight, and at first things were going very slowly and I thought I might have to miss quota. But I kept at it.

While I was in the bathtub, it struck me that I had two scenes in the manuscript out of their logical order, and if I were to reverse them I then would have a much better way to move forward. Normally, the spirit (and the breakneck pace) of NaNoWriMo prohibit one from doing any revision, but in this case all I had to do was cut and paste to put things in their proper order. It took me all of 15 seconds, and then I was able to move on ahead.

I came to a good stopping point just after reaching my 1,667-word quota for the day, and so I’ve called it a night.
