Hello,
Following a minor medical procedure I have been advised to self isolate completely for a week. My husband very kindly stepped up to look after the kids and deliver meals to my door so for the first time ever I have straight chunks of time to devote to writing.
I have had an idea buzzing in my head for years now, and had written 30k words, but decided at the start of this year to change the main character quite dramatically, to someone I feel I understand so much better. I am much happier with the set up now, and think my story is more interesting and authentic now, but it did mean pretty much starting again. I reached 20k words before the summer holidays and then ground to a halt as we moved house and my family needed me.
I'm now 3 days in to my isolation. I've written 12,500 words and am back in the zone.
My question is, what do you think is the best use of the remaining 4 days? I think I should probably just keep throwing words at it. I'd love to be at 50k or over by the time I emerge. I have a chapter plan which I'm broadly following, so I know where it's going.
Or does anyone think I should be going back over what I've done so far and improving it?
Thanks. And sorry this got so long!
