35,000 words added in August. That’s a lot less than I’d hoped for during a season when I don’t have the distraction of a full-time job…but I’m still primary caregiver to our boys, and research assistant to my wife, and I’ve had to put a bunch of time this month into getting ready for her upcoming fieldwork by e.g. translating survey and information forms and planning the home school curriculum for our sons.
I’m also at the stage where a lot of the work I’m doing is code-intensive, involving linking up various bits of my spaghetti into endgame states with a lot of different texture and nuance. That yields fewer words-per-hour than I get when I’m writing more straightforward narrative.
Anyway, onward and upward! I posted an excerpt to the Stormwright thread a couple of days ago.
