I should probably note down that over the past few days, between working on the anthology and cooking and running errands and things like that, I managed to do some work on Orchestrated.

New words Feb. 11-13: 2,644
Total word count, Orchestrated: 63,484

Slog, slog. I need to skip the little things and just get the characters and story to the next important thing on the list of things to write. I can smooth out transitions later. And not all of these new words are story, either; some of them are notes to myself in the body of the text to check things and rewrite sections with a different focus.

It feels like pulling hen’s teeth.
