Anyway, I've been back to this 'new' novel for a few days now. I wrote a few thousand words so far this week.
Today's Count: 1,004
Total (will be using the thermometer again to keep track): 23,196

Back at It
I've finished with my rewrite of one novel to so I can start sending that to agents, and the editing of my novella so that can get off to press. Now I'm back to just writing. I must say there is something fantastically relaxing about exploring a vague idea and getting to know my characters. The rewrite process is more challenging (also quite satisfying at times) - get the plot from point A to point B in X amount of words while dialing in your characters. But the more organic process of creating the first draft is so enjoyable and relaxing. Plus, it's exciting. You never know who's going to wander onto the stage.
