Skinsongs progress...

[martinlivings]

Well, the word count hasn't gone up, but I HAVE entered in four chapter outlines, so that should make writing them easier. Theoretically. I'm sick of using the Stephen King "just write without planning ahead, that'll make it spontaneous" method, all it's creating is waffle. Time to get the plot back on course. I can see that the whole book is awfully paced and structured, but I'll fix that in later edits. Right now, I just want to get the plot out and done, so I have something to show the Australia Council for my year here. I'm feeling like a fraud. :(

So, going by my original schedule:

Skinsongs

Projected word count for 04-09-06:
56500

Actual word count for 08-08-06:
43000

Current word status:
13500 words behind

Oh dear...

I wouldn't enslave yourself to the Stephen King method. It works for him (mostly), but it certainly doesn't work for everyone.

For me it pretty much fails... except for Prismatic, which complicates matters (I obviously need a really tight deadline).
