The 2026 Novel Writing Challenge: My Task #60

Morning all. Added 1679 words to today’s total. I am slowing down a little bit but that is actually to be expected as I get into things. My total word count at the moment is now sitting at 31, 238. So even slowing down I am more or less on track. I am edging out of Act one and dipping into Act 2 in the upcoming writings. I will be there a while as it is the longest act. I did shift things about a bit and I did slim down some elements. I think that I might have added one plot element too many in my outline. I liked he idea of it, but I am not certain if it adds or detracts from the main plot. I left the light touches I used to tease those elements in for the moment although they are minimized. If I use them then in editing I will have to bulk them up. If I don’t I am going to remove them later. I am still on the fence about that but we shall see. For now, I am pleased with how things are chugging along even if I have set myself up for some later editing.
