716 words on a blog and a short story. Non-novel, but productive, things happening. Had to make a major decision or two about the novel, which took awhile, and I took a few notes about it. But a corner was turned and I'll hit it hard tomorrow.
Did other work for other writings, including some research about a blog that will offer these (already published and the rights have reverted back to me) works for sale. Also researched other promotional items, like bookmarks and such. And I found out how I can get a lot of them for free--or, almost free.

1,900 words. Chapter 26 is done. Really proud of myself, because tonight's writing came out very, very painfully, and slowly. This was the kind of night that I usually let go because I didn't have the perseverance to stick with it even though it wasn't going to be my best. But I don't have the time for some perfectionism anymore. If it doesn't come out as my best, I'll make it that way when I go back again and again and edit it.
And that's what I did.
Vacation's over. Back to work tomorrow. I need to have the perseverance to write tomorrow, even if I come home from work and I'm beat. I've got to do it anyway. It's got to get done.

2,166 words. Done with Chapter 25, one of the longest in the WIP. Made a couple of important decisions, split up a huge chapter from the previous draft. Will create a new chapter tomorrow, then Chapter 27 will be the second half of what had been Chapter 25 in the previous draft. Nobody likes really long chapters.
Chapter 25 is a little longer than most in the WIP, but much of it's dialogue, and it was really important to set up a bond, no matter how minor, between the main character and a minor one. This was a glaring omission from previous drafts. Before, saving her had been just something he needed to do. Now, her character's got more of a connection with him, which makes you care more for her character, which makes you want her to be saved, which makes his race to save her even more tense.
All in theory, of course.
