Sleepychameleon Hangout v.3

…in spite of my own self’s best efforts.

So it looks like I can’t do more than about 800-1000 words per day before I run straight into writing fatigue and end up surfing the internet for hours on end. Very well then. Duly noted–next time I’ll intersperse it with something else. (The other thing that’s a Rewrite, perhaps?)

It’s not a lot. I could do the same work in about two hours without having to sit here for the additional four. It occurs to me that this is why I didn’t head straight into a professional fiction writing career–asides from not having much material, I can’t POSSIBLY imagine sitting down and doing this for eight hours a day.

What this means, really, is that Elizabeth Bear is some sort of mutant freak. Or nuclear powered. Probably nuclear powered, given her fitness regimen. I can only aspire.

Starting a thread here to track my progress. If this particular project goes anywhere, I’ll archive the entire lot on its own separate page; hopefully that will make it useful to people other than myself.

If that makes no sense, it’s because I should be in bed.

As of now, 96 cards done and most of the way through Act III. The important bits, anyway. I’m plotting roughly on the Greek Three Act structure, but it might break down into more, depending. Beat sheet keeps doing funky things. Also got a phone call from James AD today (who will probably be the producer on this project). It amused me. But I do like the guy–otherwise I wouldn’t bother working with him.
