Spaghetti stylee (think writing, plotting and line editing with half the plot still decided or written - that's 🧩 'clever' chaos for ya 😉) ...
10k of clean draft reached.
Onwards.
💪
No pugs yet, so you know I'm still battling away. 🙃🐾

So. On what I'm calling my 'clean draft', I've reached an edited 9k.
Into Chapter 3 I go.

Keep going! I'm writing too. 🙌
Writing and editing in my spaghetti 🧩 way. Approaching 5k.

It reminds me of Gladys Knight. Yet, however pretentious, I'll take it. 🙃
I got 'bougie', so I'm now entitled to mooch about all year, acting the entitled, prosperous dandy. At least I'll get to wear my green wellies more often. 😎
Story update: 2,200 words. Time to speed up in Jan. Every day, I plan to read + write 'something' every day, however small.
Come on!
🔋
Parent for the win, show no mercy! 💪
Update: Those who follow will remember I've used AI to structure my plot.
It's been useful but become counter-productive (imo), so I've pivoted to this draft rinsing out anything that isn't my idea/voice. Lesson learnt, I guess.
So, this revised draft is inching its way to 1k of the 13k written.
We've had a stern chat and it's now a novella WIP.

My story that wants to be a novel when it grows up: my 13k words are all tidy tidy and line-edited.
Now for more thinking on the way forward.

Throwback to first non-parent, with girlfriend, holiday. Italia 1986, crazy clothes, EastEnders extra filming and carbonara for breakfast, while Tracy took over the 🇮🇹 airwaves with her Italo-Disco banger. ☀️
Lovely Indian summer day in North Yorkshire. 🏵️

I think I've reached Chapter 20 on the editing. Interspersed with ripping the plot about, swearing and generally tarting it up.
What a lark! 😆

I'm English and read this with my breakfast tea. 🫖
Resting from tangling with fiction, keeping my poetic hand in with a quick Shakespearean sonnet.

Next draft WILL need extra write-in, to balance word count of chapters and overall, towards 30k.
The final third of draft is yet to be written.
Onwards. 👍
