Rolling rolling rol-OUCH

I just realized that I have 3.3 scenes left to write in this thing! Huzzah! This means about six or seven days to first-draft completion. This also means that I have a pretty good chance of hitting the 20k mark—assuming my beta doesn't feed too much to the grammar monster in the polishing process. Even if she does, less can be more. (Example: "RUN!" versus "USE YOUR LEGS IN AN EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING FASHION IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE AN ESCAPE FROM THIS UNHAPPY AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS LOCATION!")

On the downside, I'm still running 500 words behind because I didn't get my usual writing time last night. :\ But yay almost done with first draft? Oh well, that's what an hour hiding out at Burger King is for this evening after work. 500 words now, 500 words then... I'll catch up. Happy happy.

Today's spoiler: I played with a thesaurus. Which is a type of dinosaur, obviously. :D

He'd been right. The Hatching Grounds were huge. Bigger than the Great Hall of Ista Hold—bigger than the harbor of Ista Hold. There must have been room for every dragon and person in the Weyr. The roof was so high that it vanished into shadow, even though glowbaskets lined the walls every few feet, filling the place with their clear white light.WiP KH-Pern

ETA: Also? Subway sounds good right now. o.o Or possibly Wendey's. Mrmble.

ETA2: I was right. Subway is good right now. NOM.

ETA3: I have been informed by my beta to remove "enormous". This just shows exactly how valuable she is, to be pro-actively catching my goofs. (squishes her)
