NOVEL REWRITE PROGRESS UPDATE #10
This number is a guess, not because I’m too lazy to look at the word count, but because I’m working longhand these days.
I haven’t done that all too often in the past because, well, I have atrocious handwriting. But it has advantages. For one thing, it slows me down, so I can work through narrative issues as I’m writing rather than type furiously only to come to a standstill a few minutes later. Also, it allows me to rewrite as I type the handwritten stuff into the document (a trick I learned from Neil Gaiman). As a writer who is capable of crippling boredom at rewrite time, this has a very great appeal. Plus, I can read my handwriting, so it doesn’t really matter if it’s atrocious or not (at least for this purpose).
So I’m working longhand for now. I’ve done a whole chapter that way and a part of the next one. I might finish the entire manuscript that way and then go back and type it up. I’m not sure. But based on the average number of words I get on each page of the notebook I’m working in, here’s the word count as of Sunday.
