Writing Is Not an Alibi

Yes, I know I said I’d assess progress daily. But discovering during the last few days that I’ll have to leave to start at the new job much sooner than I expected seriously messed up my daily schedule. I am still working on the revision each day (I got in another 6940 words total from last time I updated), but I’m going much slower than my ideal estimate, mostly because I’ve been dealing with a couple of completely new scenes with a pivotal importance (given that they introduce the key characters and worldbuilding points). I might play catch up once I get to the scenes that only require a light editing, but I’m starting to think that my goal to end the editing phase in one month might be a little too optimistic, at least in the situation I’m in - especially because I have no idea of what will become of my writing time once I get to the new place and start working again.

In any case, I will keep striving each day for my best case scenario, and I will update each day - and yes, this time for real: it actually helps me work a lot better.
