Soulmates thingy done, back to spaceship rental! I have a total of 10k of that, in a sort of [4k from the start] + [at least 10k worth of scenes with snippets of text] + [4k of scene] + [at least 8k worth of scenes towards the ending plus vague ideas of another subplot] structure. I think this'll be another novel. Gaaahhhhh! And the bit I need to write next is the bureaucracy, which I hate. I will so need someone to beta this when it is all done.
In more positive news, I set myself a wordcount goal of 100k for the year back in January. (I had 147k last year, but I wasn't sure whether it'd be sustainable.) I currently have a bit shy of 90k posted to AO3 for the year, and in addition to the 10k of spaceship rental, I have a few k of miscellaneous Guardian fic I haven't crossposted to AO3 yet. Oh, and Yuletide always gives me a wordcount boost, as my favorite hobby is writing treats. :P If today is day 191 out of 365, and I have posted 89439 words onto AO3, then assuming that my words per day (~468) continues as-is, I'll get a whopping 170k posted onto AO3 this year! (For reference, in 2016 I "posted" 112 words per day and in 2018 it was 404. During longer projects, I averaged about 500 words per day from start to finish, but that doesn't include editing time/transition time between projects. Perhaps someday I can drag my daily posted-onto-AO3 average above 500!)
(For the record, the way I've increased my words per day is 1. outlining and thereby unlocking longer projects, and 2. practice. I have no life hacks for you.)
Time to go back to thinking about Ye Zun. And outlining bureaucracy. But mostly procrastinating by thinking about Ye Zun. My take will be very idiosyncratic/the circumstances nonstandard, but if you find you have words to say about Ye Zun, do share them. I find him entertaining.
