chocolatepotYesterday I added three thousand words to Happy Secret! I only need-need two thousand more and I'm also within a few scenes of the end, so I suspect it will end up coming together with me hitting the minimum as I get to the end of the story. (This is so common for me ... I assume it's psychological, something deep in my brain paces myself to meet a minimum in a way I would never ever be able to consciously manage.)
Several big chunks turned out to be written in a very nineteenth-century style, so quite a lot of the work was rewriting them to not sound like ... that. I really wish it were not my default. It always means rewriting paragraphs from scratch rather than tweaking because it's like the entire way I structure and combine sentences is daffy. it's deeper than style, it's something to do with the coding of my brain. Why why why?
