Report 33

Have courage, have strength; have joy within your heart.

Pacing is an...interesting thing. You can't quite grasp it just by writing short stories; you have to write a novel. And all the ebbs and flows and movements and pauses you have to build slowly, you have to breathe life into the plot and characters and carry the reader forward as organically as possible, and you realize that, well shit, books are hard to write, after all.

Words written yesterday: 1,400. Total words: 13,338. Words left: 36,662. Days left: 26.

Words per day to finish on time: 1,411.
