Snippeting Out Some Fiction

This entry is part 53 of 53 in the series Daily Scribble Reports

So to give an update on yesterday's numbers, we got back in the swing of things a bit. Added barely a smidgeon to my short story, but I snippeted and edited and scribbled my way through more than 1400 words of collaboration. That makes me happy.

In the Writerly Trenches

So did the back and forth on the collaboration for 1201 words. I probably need to get to Tracing Trouble or Splintered Gates at some point today. I've put off getting entirely back into the flow and this is a trenching day, so here goes.

Started Splintered Gates short as 1225 words and got as far as 1289, which is not far. Hm. Got the opening scene in at 513 words. Yay.

There goes another 270 words on the collaboration. Random snippet again. This thing's going to be a monster. We probably will have to break it up in multiple books when all's said and done. Hopefully not, but I see it coming.

Collaborator liked the scene and asked for a follow-up, and there went 277 more words.
