Report from the word mines

[julesjones]

Slow but reasonably consistent progress so far this week. Running totals as follows: Sunday 20923, Monday 21005, Tuesday, 21104, Wednesday 21262, Thursday 21408, Friday 21511, which took it to the end of the sex scene. Which means that no, it's not a very long sex scene. I could try to expand it, but I fear that it would be padding. Probably better to leave it be and wait for the next one, which will probably be a somewhat more considered exercise from the characters' POV.

I also probably need to go back at some point and add a bit of descriptive wordage to the rest of the story, because once again I am demonstrating that I hear my fiction as a radio play, rather than seeing it as a film. It's not as bad as the first draft of Ship to Shore, but it's still too light on visual description for readers who are more visually orientated than I am.

Ah, description. Never could understand why some people are more interested in what things/people look like than what they *do*. It may be a UK generational thing - I blame radio 4! ;)

Consistent wordage - slow and steady gets it done. Presumably, now the sex is over, you need a moment to recover? *g*
