It’s going fairly well. There are truckloads of typos, but that’s what you get when writing 4-6 pages an hour.
Many of the scenes are quite good already, but I am struggling with some of them. Especially the one in the first half of the 2nd act as many of them feel like they are just stalling time for the midpoint. I’m toying with the idea of changing the setting for this part of the story as the setting is hindering some of the rewriting I’m doing.
And I can’t stress this enough; walking away from the computer and doing this in hand is essential. Sitting down in front of the computer is, at least for me, the most counterproductive way of working.
Call me old fashioned but I need my pen and paper.
