Added a new scene to the novel, 1550 words. I still feel like this particular romantic subplot is not gelling and not fitting in with the overall story. I need to find a way for it to contribute more to the main plot. But perhaps that’s something I’ll figure out in the rewrite.

I added 2500 or so words to my current work in progress, two important scenes. Four more before I hit the midpoint of the novel. If I keep going at this rate, the midpoint will happen just shy of 50K words. A little long for a cozy, but I’ll find ways to tighten it up during edit passes.
Well, that scene got away from me a bit. I ended up writing 2360 words instead of the target of 1600. Ah well, that’s what the edit pass is for, right?
After a few days of depression and melancholy, I finally found my way back to my writing desk. As I reviewed my previous work to prepare for today’s additions, I was reminded that I enjoy my own writing. So, I added 1,100 words to my work-in-progress. I hope to finish the scene tomorrow.
I didn’t add any new words to my WIP today, sadly. Instead, I spent several hours brainstorming the plot for an entirely different post-apocalyptic fantasy novel (with a gay protagonist, naturally). As one does when they’re trying to actually finish writing a novel.
