tsukinofaeriiLOL Well, as you can all see, I saw Harry Potter last night, and as a result this is late. I regret nothing.
Writing was both curtailed and done primarily in a noisy theater. As a method of coping, I put on my headphones and played If I Die Young on eternal repeat. It was depressingly suiting for this scene (no one has died yet though), and having one song go over and over in loops helps me to focus.
I ended up deciding that I was going to restart a scene that I had already begun, in order to switch PoVs. I need to wean myself off my villains. They come off as so much more villainous to other people. It means that I have a new red-highlighted section of 800 words that has to go. (sigh) But I managed to achieve my goal in that scene, which is what's important. Now I need some way to show the passage of time before the next Big Moment comes up. I need at least a day to pass. @_@ I think that same day shipping from Jamestown to NYC is possible? Especially for a small package.
Total word count was 57,391, so I wrote 3,302 words. Quite a bit of that is ruminations on Pretty Dresses which will no doubt be cut, but I don't care. It's the minimum necessary to get this baby drafted by the end of December, and what's important is that it is written at all.

She hated black. It made her look even paler than she was, and put her in mind of the funerals she'd attended.
Color not being a deciding factor, and having no idea what was expected of her, the choice was reduced to Pretty versus Practical. Neither of them had shoes, either, which made her frown, but at least reduced the factors involved in the choices. Not that there was much choice, really.
I'm going to die anyway. I may as well go in style.
It was a very Tony-ish thought, but if Tony knew anything, it was how to get attention. She hung the gown on a hook and closed the closet on the suit, then set about trying to figure out how to put on a dress that required lacing without assistance. This, she found out after ten minutes of effort, proved slightly harder than impossible. She was able to get the gown on, and mostly fitted, but the actually lacing process simply was not happening. Even her best effort only produced tangles and havoc.
