No writing on Sunday. I generally don’t write on Sundays, so I didn’t bother giving a progress update either. That’s another reason why I’m shooting for 2,000 words a day through nanowrimo, instead of the more typically 1,667.
Making really good progress on “In the Wake of Zedekiah Wight,” which will probably turn into a short novella after all. Had to do some plot noodling, but I think I’ve got the rest of it figured out. Since it’s a short story (or at least, since it started as a short story), I didn’t bother writing an outline, which meant that I had to spend more time thinking the story out today than actually writing it.
Making progress on Children of the Starry Sea too. The next scene is going to be a lot of fun: it’s a family dinner with Jeremiah and Noemi from Star Wanderers (and all their kids, of course), except as a guest they have Reva from Sons of the Starfarers. The scene is from Reva’s point of view, and if you’ve read that series through to the end, you’ll understand why that would be fun to write.
It’s getting late and we should have gone to bed an hour ago, so I’ll end this for now. Shooting for 3k words tomorrow.
