And Kyrnie moves past the 40k mark

Okay, I have a plan. It's not a great one, but it is a plan. If I can manage just a smidge over 15k a week in revisions, 2k per day and change, I'll manage to shut down this edit pass on Kyrnie by the beginning of September.

Things in my way include 13-14 days where I may or may not find any work time. School starts and there's prep work to do. I still have to finish moving into my new house. I have writing, short story edits, crits and other responsibilities.

Am I insane? Of course. More than any other writer out there? I don't think so :).

Here's why I think there's a chance: I'm getting close to the point where, though I had to reorder the scenes, the actual writing is sound. I went through a leap in writing skill after a plateau in Nov-Dec 2004. Half of Kyrnie was written before that point, half after. I'm nearing that point. Cross your fingers for me that I'm right. I will still have to rewrite and add some scenes, but I'm hoping that at the same time a majority of the existing scenes will transfer cleanly. I'm a quick typist. If I don't have to rewrite, if I can just retype, I could do 15k or more in a day :).

The bad part is that with two different ways of estimating, I still come up with a new estimated total of over 120k. Big sigh, but if that's what it needs...

And stats:
94 scenes
34 complete - 36% of the novel
60 Scenes remain
78824 Remaining word count
124248 Estimated length - with an average of 1336 words per scene.
45424 Current Total

I beg to differ. You are clearly more insane than I. 15k a week while on a two week vacation? Mwah-hah-hah.

But best of luck with it. You have a plan, which may be where I'm failing.

Yeah, well, I wasn't quite thinking about the vacation time. I may have some makeup to do :).
