Ye Gods and Little Fishes

It's late, and what a week it's been! Draft of "Road" is due tomorrow (scratch that, today). Revised up to page 36 in the original draft. Now at 12,398, not a radical increase (200 words); though I wrote a lot, I cut pretty aggressively too.

Fourteen pages to go, plus the ending could really stand to be rewritten. Though I'm getting to the point where I could probably workshop this draft -- my first drafts tend to be cleaner toward the end, because usually by the time I get that far I've actually worked out what the heck I'm doing. It's at the beginning that I have to remove entire characters, locations, scenes, etc. that were written when the story was going somewhere completely different.
