Another 3.335 words today on the 'Between Wind and Water' rewrite. I almost wish I'd stopped two words earlier.

One younger brother rescued, but is everything quite what it seems? One injury which is rapidly turning bad due to either infection or magic or both. One big decision still to be made and no nearer to making it. Hmmm... I need to make the decision before my characters can.

I need to take care that I don't start adding to the total word count. What goes in at one end must come out at the other otherwise bloat ensues.

128133 / 110000 words. 116.5% done!

Only 558 words today but I've joined up the new bit with an old bit that I think is a keeper.

Intrigued by the new word meter that desperance  has found, I tested it out. Yes it does let me admit that I'm 18,000 words over my target. Oops. I sense some snippage to come.

It's the look of the thing

My lovely LJ header seems to have disappeared and a big black square replaced it which part blots out the first post on the page. Anyone else having problems? Would you mind taking a look at my page and see if the zippy thing with flowers in the neck is still there, please?
