megwritesYesterday's determined march towards my goal netted me a fairly respectable 3036 words, and most of the next chapter.
Today's goal is still at 5000 words, but also to get done with this chapter and move on into the next chapter.
I think one of my best ideas so far has been to go through a plot out, bit by bit, who's POV we're seeing through, and allowing myself to change POV in a chapter, so long as there's some sort of break to let the reader have a pause.
I have three POV characters, and I think mapping out when each person gets their turn to tell their bit of the story is useful. At the very least, it keeps me from jumping from viewpoint to viewpoint all over the place. And believe me, I will do that if left to my own devices.
So, right now the count stands at:
Tower!Guy Story editing, by wordcount
Tower!Guy Story editing by chapters
