76,902 words I think it said.
A draft that is complete and has all the right characters in all the scenes
and unstuck one fight scene by deleting one person and admitting someone else would have to be in Very Danger before anyone would act like they do, and let the fight stutter because the people who want to kill that guy and the person that actually can are Different People and its awful angsty woe.
I mean, hopefully the reader will not think it is awful.
it's just the character thinks big happy rescue, and then it is hell, and Not Happy.
boo.
So now I've got to let the story sit a while
and change the way it looks so I can proofread it
and possibly print it all out, though my printer is... not optimised for that.
If I want to do a proper second draft I can take it apart for theme and suchlike
but that seems like
difficult.
But for right now I have definitely reached the point where I said I could have chocolate ice cream
:-D
... but I have been awake since like 0630 and do not want to make myself that awake again right now, so, I shall have ice cream Later.
