6,731 words, and outline revisions

I p-u-s-h-e-d myself to catch up, so I'd have at least 1,667 words for each of the four days since the beginning of the month. 1,667 is the minimum number of words needed per day to be able to write a novel of 50,000 words within a month.

Today I wrote 2946 words, and my total word count now is 6,731.

After finishing chapter two and starting on chapter three, I realized the scenes for chapter three were way too early in the novel. The first two chapters take place during winter, and the subject matter of the third chapter can't take place until springtime. I therefore switched things around in the outline and wrote new outline material for an intervening chapter.

This morning I also edited chapter two in The Scribe of Irohila. I'm looking forward to resolving some of the revision problems I face with that manuscript.
