But I’ve hit an enthusiasm gap – my productivity has fallen off drastically for a number of reasons, and I know I see a lot of this work as chores and housekeeping rather than creative work. I decided mid-month that I’m going to get back to editing and drafting come November, whether I’m fully ready or not. https://escapewindow.com/blog/2023-07-01-june-in-writing/ Sat, 01 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://escapewindow.com/blog/2023-07-01-june-in-writing/ In June, I finished writing the first draft of the 2nd POV character’s arc, and started on the 3rd and final POV character. I’ve written 77 of 97 outlined scenes; 41 1/2 of 48 outlined chapters. I averaged a little over a scene per day.

First Draft Progress I’ve written 45 of 97 outlined scenes; 23 2/3 of 48 outlined chapters. I could try to power through and finish the first draft by the end of June, but life is rearing its head: jury duty summons, a family vacation, concerts, plus the Diablo 4 launch.
