So I set a goal that yesterday I would at least get to 10,000 words for today. After re-reading the last few pages I wrote and then writing some more new material, I was able to pass this small point. Unfortunately I am still far behind on getting this story done on time and I now realize that this will not be the first or last of the many catch-up days I will be using to get it done on time.
On another note, I finished the first chapter's rough first writing. Most of it has also received much of the needed editing I had originally wanted for it. I am also happy to say that after re-reading the entire thing from start to most of the way through (I still had not written part of it), it reads very smoothly and gives the reader a sense of flow. The details are all in place and they really help the reader understand the situation, but more importantly I think there are enough to really bring people into wanting to read more of the book. That is usually the goal of the first chapter, so success (hopefully)!
Now moving on to the second chapter. Hopefully I can kick out another ton today, though insomnia is making writing very... interesting...
