Pause on the metrics
It was bound to happen.
LM #12 spilled out like so much verbal diarrhea -- up to this point, that is, when I ran face-first into a wall. This latest section is giving me trouble like a five-year old that got too much sugar too close to bedtime, and is screaming their head off, scratching fingernails on the floor while I try to drag them to the bedroom.
Even though I deleted a bunch of words yesterday and wrote new ones to replace them, today, I barely crested 2,000 words, and I'm not entirely happy with them. The problem is a bit of worldbuilding that hasn't really been clarified, either in past Parts or in my head, because it hasn't come into play before (but has always been there) and sorting it out and making it make sense is harder than it looks.
Kind of like building a ship in a bottle when you have oven mitts on your hands.
I'm taking the weekend to do the head-scratching thing to sort it out. I'm hoping it's just an issue of where do I go from here and not what the fuck did I just do, and go forward with more writing instead of going back while wielding the mighty delete key.
Happy Friday, everyone. Have a great weekend!
