I've added two more sentences to yesterday's half-arsed one, which means I've been 100% more productive than yesterday. Isn't that nice? Well, not really, but still words, and on a day like this they count as a real achievement.
Here they are: More than ever, she wanted to be alone and unobserved. The unexpected reunion with her estranged brother had shaken her to the core.
As usual I've crashed and burned half way through the month as assorted medical problems caught up with me - or in the most recent one, was gifted to me in the form of the nasty cough my husband acquired on a very, very overcrowded train and generously brought home to me. However, I did get my beta reader's comments back on my submission synopsis, which were extremely helpful and pinpointed a couple of places where what was in my head did not make it to the paper, so that's been revised over the weekend. Cough has improved a lot over the last 24 hours and I got a reasonable night's sleep last night so I may have a functioning brain again in the next couple of days. If so I shall tackle the cover blurb length synopsis.
I am glad you are better, hope the rest of the month goes well!
I had to learn about submission synopsis in the last unit, even though I only write short things that don't need them we all had to do them for the assignment. I am in awe of anyone who can write them.
My wordage is still umm, going backwards as I rewrite the story, dropping the stuff with multiple characters and dialogue and replacing it with different and shorter paragraphs focusing on just the one character. This does not make me as unhappy as it probably would elsewhere as I think it will be a better story if I can get it done right.
It was fiddle lesson day again, and I'd been running about earlier on, so not much writing time, and I was very sleepy again. I might actually finish this second report tonight, though, which would be nice - the two cover five days between them, so are fairly substantial, but I didn't expect them to take up quite as much of the month!
261 words. I'm busy getting lost, having turned off the main path in pouring rain to head for civilisation.
The end of the track curled round to the right, and that should have been the way I was heading, up a good broad glen, but it didn't feel quite right - it wasn't the direction where I'd seen the vehicle moving about, for one thing. It took me a minute or two longer to realise what was really wrong - the burn was flowing the wrong way.

Definitely would be shocking to see an estranged sibling.

Numbers never go backwards, they are only forwards. Editing just adds more. *nods*
