Nearing The End

Okay, remember that Fast Draft project I started and then just stopped posting about. Well it didn't turn into a real Fast Draft, but it's definitely still the fastest I've written a book, ever.

I'm not done, but I will finish the first draft today. Yes, I'm that cofident, because I'll stay up until 5 in the morning to finish if I have to. Though I guess technically that wouldn't be finishing today but whatever.

The one thing that bothers me about this book that I WILL have to fix is the fact that I skipped a plot point in the middle out of laziness. There's no other excuse. I thought something like "I want to be done and this isn't MAJOR so I'll leave it out." But really, I feel it's kind of needed and so when I go back for rewrites I'll have to change it. It should give me a good 10 to 20 pages more than I'll have now. Which is good, I don't know why I got all lazy and tried to make my book SHORTER. *sigh* Issues.

Oh, and another thing that bothers me is I don't have a title yet! Usually I get about 10-20k in and a title just pops into my head. No, not now. I'm reaching the end of this book and it's still under Sci-Fi Untitled. I made up a shitty title to pitch to Avon but I won't be keeping that. It was like My Cyborg Savior or something. It sucks and isn't unique at all.

Anyway, I'm going to go finish the end of this book. I've probably got 1000+ words to go or less maybe.

Fast Draft - Day 2

I did better today but didn't meet my goal. I hit 2,723 which is a little over half the goal. I've decided to stop though, because it's late, and I have a book that is calling my name.

Oh, and the finger actually doesn't hurt as much as it did yesterday, so I was able to do quite well today. It's still swollen though. But judging from how much it hurts today, it probably won't hurt to type at all tomorrow. OMFG! Spider! That's what the cat was stalking earlier.

Okay, that's just damned embarrassing. Glad I shut the door before my attempted kill started, along with the screaming. If anyone asks, it was a war cry.

Uh, anyway that's my update. *keeps glancing at dead spider* I'm done sitting here until I can vacuum the little carcass up in the morning.
