Two-thirds done. Yay me. (Also, more wibbling and mild panic as I wonder if I have enough room left to write the rest of what I need to write.)
Things are still feeling disjointed, because I’m burrowing through the MS fleshing out point-form notes I left for myself and linking thoughts. I have a feeling that I’m not going to be able to include all the other detailed rituals that I wanted to include. It also looks like meditations will be very short and refer back to a basic procedure, so I can write it all out once and then just include the imagery and so forth for each new meditation, directing people back to the how-to for the structure and process. That will save wordage.
Off to pick up the boy.
Can you not have an Appendix of rituals?
That still adds to the total word count.
Being in this situation isn’t a bad thing; it keeps me better focused everywhere so that I can include the rituals that I really think important, and helps me be clear and concise.
As always, 50K is both more and less words than you think it is. I’m glad the word count is accumulating for you.
