Quick update on my late-night 1 Dec writing blitz: > [@November 2021's Writer Support Thread](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/november-2021s-writer-support-thread/109190/53): > > I’ve made plans to pull an old-fashioned college move - invited a buddy over after work to see how far I get plugging away at my WIP. why not show up to work on 1 Dec lookin’ like a zombie… right? 😂 It went reasonably well - there was probably too much chatting and snacking but I definitely expected that. Managed to knock out a good portion of the chapter I’ve been working on, almost 20k words (way too bloat-y), but I’ll be re-reading and adding some texture to the placeholder portions soon, and also just double-checking that my 3-am brain didn’t accidentally end up typing in a different language. Hope to share a decently-sized update for my WIP by Mid Dec, and then go off on a proper holiday 🙂 As for the links @Eiwynn shared for this round, I really liked the idea of **pacing** (personal takewaway: when I’m clearing the bloat from my first-drafts, I should clear it more ruthlessly in the parts that are meant to be fast-paced, and leave more of the ‘fat’ in for the parts that are meant to be “rest points”). I also liked the **character prompt questions** in the first article - will definitely use those as productive procrastination! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/december-2021s-writer-support-thread/110450)._
