The Spare: 91,282 and counting. Yesterday, I did a paper read through and the first 45-50% is pretty darn good. I got annoyed whenever I had to put it down, always a good sign. Then it got choppy, which I expected. Choppy, not wretched, this is a fine distinction to make. So, hey! I reordered some chapters. For a change. But only a few and that was after I laid out a chronology of the ghost stuff which showed me what would be more effective where. And tonight I started in on a chapter and boy was I surprised. I scared myself with the creepy elements I put in, I got the shivers, I swear. I expect I'll have this puppy up to 100K shortly and then it will need to be whittled down. I think I have to shift a few scenes futher up, the interview with Dr. R probably needs to move up in order to lay a solid foundation for SA's suspicion, especially since the weekend's edits ended with that scene having an unexpected ending that really works.
