The Pareto Curve of Writing
by xaosseed
Its midnight and I’ve just reworked the last of the ‘things I know I’ll use’ for a 72.3K count. Its been astonishingly rapid progress over the past few weeks, which is good, but I think its fast approaching the time to call it done and go for a first pass reedit. The bones of the story are there and there is a good bit of flesh, if perhaps on the bones in a way thats more ‘couch potato’ than ’supermodel’, but fair enough.
Checking my notes, my task list has ‘antagonist background/POV’ stuff that I don’t know if it should be included at all and setting flavour stuff that will have to go in at reedit. Ah… except that one there, that needs to go in. Ok, tomorrow.
Once I’ve proofed this I’ll have to get it looked at to see does it say what I think it says; I’ve stolen the title from Attempt II, theres a bunch of characters who’ve been written in as I did the scenes, I need a big chunky clean-eyes continuity check – but that can wait until I’ve made sure there are no dead sentences and remaining ‘[insert scene X here]‘ flags left…
So far so good.

Sounds interesting, what’s the story about?
