One of My Favourite Things...

It's not a brown paper package ties up with string, but even so.

I posted my favourite word count the other day (week? I am in the zone!) (It was 70K, btw) and here is my favourite page count.

This is where it all starts rolling inexorably to the end, where if I wasn’t doing #CampNaNoWriMo I wouldn’t even be checking word count, where you can’t get me out of the doc with a crowbar*. <crow, lol

Where all sorts of little delicious details, knowingly and unknowingly, start springing up like flowers, and it all becomes FUN. Writing is a FUN THING TO DO at this stage! What a relief!

There is cutting in my future for sure, I’m going to be well over the standard word count for the genre, but that’s a problem for Editing Susanna…

*I am also at the point where I pull myself up on phrasing, but we’ll all be glad to know ‘crowbar’ has been in use since 1748 and is so-called because it pried things open in the same way as crows used their beaks. May pop this in as an Easter Egg...
